I had a terrible time once years ago. Up to 30 bathroom visits per day.

I went to a Gastroenterologist and he recommended Psyllium seed to absorb the toxins from the bad bacteria causing the problem. Fixed it immediately!

You can do capsules or the powder. I do the capsules now for minor diarrhea attacks. One or two a day with lots of water.
You don't need the full dose recommended usually IMO.

After antibiotics a colitis may develop...due to C.difficle. If that is the case vancomycin is usually given orally.

But try the Psyllium solution. It is very effective.
