I Was Disgnosed With Helicobacter Pylori Infection In The Stomach.

Side effect of Amoxicillin possibly
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for choosing 'Ask A Doctor' service for your query,
Have seen your details and I appreciate your concerns,
The loose motions you are having are a side effect of drug Amoxicillin.
One of the most common side effects of Amoxicillin is loose stools.
Though the doses used in the eradication of H.pylori are 1000 mg a day but you are on 500 mg per day.
Stopping medicine does not make sense I would suggest you take over the counter Imodium 4 mg thrice daily initially and then as and when required to control loose motions along with it take a probiotic daily like Econorm.
This doesn't seem like infection dear.
It's as said earlier is the commonest side effect of Amoxicillin.
Hope I was helpful,
Thank you
