No: I'm guessing you were placed on some pretty broad spectrum antibiotics. I believe this is what is causing your diarrhea. Try eating yogurt or taking a probiotic.

Go back to doctor: If you were on antibiotics you may have clostridium difficile infection. This can be quite dangerous. See your doctor soon..
