Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!

You are reporting to have used amoxicillini and after that you have bloating, nausea and stomach pain.
These symptoms may be due to :
- gut bacterial Missal ancestors due to antibiotics
- candida overgrowth
- c.difficile infection (usually it is associated with diarrhea).
This is why to my opinion you need to use :
- probiotics
- PPI'S like prilosec OTC
If your symptoms doesn't improve after a couple of days you should do fecal culture test and use metronidazole antibiotic.

Hope it was helpful to you.

Hi back,
Thank you for providing more of your medical information .
With regards to diarrhea it may be due to C.difficile infection and bacterial misbalance gut.
This is why to my opinion you should perform fecal culture test to rule out /confirm c.difficile infection.
