I have had irritable bowel syndrome for over 40 years, and now almost everything I eat, especially non-vegetarian food, causes loose motions, sometimes 15 to 20 times a day. Which antibiotic would be best? Please suggest.
Your frequent loose motions after eating are concerning and require proper medical evaluation. Antibiotics are generally not recommended for irritable bowel syndrome unless a bacterial infection is confirmed. Please consult your doctor or gastroenterologist for appropriate tests, dietary guidance, and personalised treatment, which may include probiotics, antispasmodics, or targeted antibiotics if necessary. Do not take antibiotics on your own, as this may lead to antibiotic resistance and disrupt your gut bacteria, potentially worsening your symptoms.
