Brief Answer:
Please get your stool tested
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that semi solid stools are not a cause for concern. Unless it is due to a bacterial infection, taking Norflox TZ is of no use. If fact repeated use would lead to development of antibiotic resistance and it would be of no use when actually needed. I would insist you to get your stool checked for routine microscopy. Please get the test done and upload the report and I would guide you accordingly.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

the stools are at times loose and after having very light diet they become semi loose.
I have taken norflox tz only once about a year ago .and not a regular user of it . since this problem i cant go out and eat or have any alchohol .
Are there any symptoms of bacterial stomach infection that i can describe . since the time i had norflox over a year ago and got fixed thought of repeating a course as i am tired of trying to fix this with home remedies.pls confirm

Brief Answer:
Avoid alcohol. Stop trying to change the consistency of stool.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Semi solid stools are not abnormal. I do not think that there is any reason to even try to make it otherwise. I would insist you to stop trying. However, in order to clear any confusion I would insist you to get your stool tested.
