Does anyone has suggestions on how to handle recurring diarrhea? I was on amoxicillin last week (4 days, stopped Friday), and since then I had one solid poop yesterday morning, then I was back to diarrhea last night and all day today. Ive been eating foods that ive tolerated well. Could it still have something to do with the antibiotics? Ive tried anti-diarrheals to no avail. Oh and I was on them due to a possible incision site infection. Thanks for your help.

the antibiotics kill off ALL the bacteria, the bad and the good. We need the good bacteria in. Our guts. Get some probiotics,over the counter, at. Any drugstore, which will replace the good bacteria. Many DSers take probiotics regularly,every day.

probiotics are your best bet then maybe add some fiber. I use benefiber. If you are taking magnesium oxide you might stop that for a while.
