Type 5 stool

2018-11-16 12:56:38
Hi. I'm having mostly type 5 stool from the past few days. Is this normal? I finished an antibiotic 10 days ago and while taking antibiotics, I had diarrhea. I'm on a diet with only rice and dal and vegetable sambar. I am having only type 5 stools. Is this normal? Or is type 5 stools diarrhea and should I be worried?
