Stomach gnawing pain + mushy stool

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

In my last post i had mentioned i have symptoms like gnawing/hunger ache throughout the day, nausea mild feeling many times and mushy stool(type 6) and also i go to stool for 2-3 times a day... So I understand it might have been due to destruction of gut bacteria due to antibiotic, but I consulted a doctor who prescribed me xifaxan and vizylac rich along with some digestive enzymes.. My question was the issue itself is created by taking a course of antibiotics before and xifaxan, so since xifaxan is itself an antibiotic, will it treat the condition or aggravate that? Or should i take only the digestive enzymes and probiotics(vizylac rich)??
