What Causes Diarrhea While On Flagyl?
My husband just came home from the hospital after 6 days due to a diagnosis of diverticulitis. He was stated on oral antibiotic ? Flagel and had diarrhea so they switched him too augmentin. He had one dose at 8 am yesterday prior to discharge. Once home he had another dose at 8 pm. Starting around 2 am he started with diarrhea and has had about 4 to 5 episodes of diarrhea with the last one just 2 minutes ago. He said there was no blood.
