Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Your problems 20 days ago were most likely caused by bacterial infection. Such infection destroys natural intestinal bacteria which protects us from bad bacteria. This pathological bacteria start to grow replacing good bacteria what leads to gastrointestinal problems. Even if antibiotic was used, infection could become chronic.
I suggest you to have stool tests and stool culture test done. Please discuss with your doctor Rifaximine treatment.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
