Stomach Bacteria

I am taking an antibiotic for stomach bacteria for two weeks and I am still experiencing diarrhea. Is that normal and how long will it take for my bowel movement to get back to normal?

Antibiotics typically cause diarrhea as a side effect, according to the NIH, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and non-allergic skin rash.

It may take a week, or so, for it to go away, once you finish your course of treatment.

Has there been any change?
