Suggest Treatment For Loose Stools

I recently had to take the AF kit ( the 4 tablets) . I am finished with the dose but my stomach is still upset. Usually anti biotics cause a little problem for me, in terms of diarrhoea and loose stools. But its already been 3 days and my stomach still is upset. please advise.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
As you have mentioned, antibiotics can cause bloating, digestion problems, loose motions or gastric upset in many a people as you too have this problem.
This occurs due to the following reasons:
The antibiotics taken for any purpose kills the intestinal bacteria and thus causes imbalance of the bacterial flora with attendant problems.
I would advise you the following:
Try to find out the antibiotics that suit you the most.
Take a pre and probiotics to have balance of the bacterial flora.
Take curds/yogurt, banana and activated charcoal for an early recovery.
Avoid taking the antibiotics or any other medication that causes you such a problem.
I find this answer helpful
