Antibiotics are known to alter the gut bacteria proportions. Hence this symptom does not necessarily point to a disease process. Disturbed bowel has many causes from a simple infection, to allergy like gluten to Vitamin B12 deficiency. Hence will need a proper evaluation by a medical Gastroenterologist
