Hello, Thanks for the query.
I would like to tell you one thing that metronidazole's only side effect is bitter taste and some what metalic taste, so don't worry about this.
It might happen co-incidence that you have took a fried food ( spicy food in a restaurant) and develops diarroea.
A
s far concerned about cramps these occurs due to loss of many minerals in stool ( loose)
So when all tests are normal so first of take light food without any spice or minimum amount.
Gradually you will be right.
Banana , bland rice, curd are the best food for you at present. GOOD LUCK.Dr.Het.
In a couple of days, the bacteria will be cleared
In a couple of weeks, the intestinal epithelium heels.
C difficile may recur but is unlikely to be chronic...
Food allergy is possible - tests like RAST may identify
Lactose intolerance is common - the degree varies...
Coeliac disease is a possibility
Several gut hormones have been identified to cause...
You should follow up with the gastro enterologist / further investigation like capsule endoscopy ad biopsy may be helpful...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
