Could be infectious but considering the antibiotic course completed it is ruled out. Next is CMPA, Celiac disease or infectious colitis.
Next Steps
for CMPA - try daily elimination for 2-4 weeks and see if symptoms get better.
Extensively hydrolysed formulae or amino acid formulae. will work as dairy alternative.
For other diagnosis exclusions need consulting with pediatrician

It maybe cow milk protein allergy or meckel's diverticulum or anal fissure. Eliminate all kinds of diary foods for 2-4 weeks. Give aptamil pepti or any other extensively hydrolysed formula. And repeat stool test for consecutive 3 days after 2 weeks. If blood in stool is increasing in quantity or intermittently continues occuring, then meckel scan is necessary. If there is pain while passing stools, tell pediatrician to check perianal area for identifying anal fissures.
