I understand your concern

Diarrhea and stomach is common problem after the medical abortion.
It is a side effect of the medical abortion pill.
It could be a side effects of the antibiotics.
Take following advises:
Take rest, drink plenty of water and ORS solution to maintain hydration
Take diet like boiled rice, applesauce, banana and toast
Tablet dicyclomine and fiber supplements like senna will helpful
Meet the gynecologist after 7 days for follow up and USG after 14 days of abortion to confirm the complete process of abortion.
