You are not being gross. I would call your doc. It may be that you really dont't have much in your bowels or else that the antibiotics you got have wreaked havoc on your bowels.

I think it varies with people honestly...I got the screaming poops when I got home from the hospital and was that way for quite a few days...then it settled down. Don't worry...just try and get as much fluid in as possible!
