Are type 5 stools normal

2018-11-27 13:39:06
I had amoebiasis and was treated with 7 days of metronidazole and followed by 2.5 days of paromomycin which I had to stop due to very adverse side effects such as watery diarrhea 11 times a day. This was 3 weeks ago. However, since then, most of my stools are of type 5 with rarely type 4 and type 3. Should I be worried or is it normal to have type 5 stools? I have no urgency to use the bathroom and I have bowel movements once a day with mild/medium bloating towards the end of the day. What should I do next?
