Sorry it's me again. Finished my antibiotics yesterday and for the last four days only been having 1 bowel motion per day although very loose. Been eating a very bland diet but did give gravy a go on my meal last night. This morning ate porridge for breakfast ,lightly buttered toast for lunch, and tried tea with milk but had 5 loose bowel movements afterwards. Does anyone else still have this problem after finishing Anti biotics. SO fed up now as my gp said if the tablets didnt work it might mean hospitalisation and I certainly want to avoid that.

Did you take probiotics with the antibiotics? If you didn't your poor gut will have no friendly bacteria to help it deal with whatever you throw down there. I've just been reading the Clever Guts book by Michael Mosley and I never realised just how much we rely on the good friendly bacteria to deal with our food.
Even if you did have probiotics it probably wouldn't hurt you to take more - maybe 2 capsules (of different types if you can find them) a day. Live yoghurt is always good if you can handle the dairy.
Hope this helps!
