Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea Due To Infection

i have had diahrrea for two months. I had a culture done and was told I had a parasite and pseudomonis. As soon as I went on the two antibiotics the pain and discomfort went away, but the diahrrea remains. I have taken probiotics during this time as well. I feel fine but still have (sometimes urgent) diahrrea. What could it be? I am 67 years old, female, 5'7", 150 pounds, and basically healthy.

HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking,
I really appreciate your concern, I have gone through the history given here and I could say that passing of the stool three to four time in this age may be normal one, but it should not be water, diet also cause the diarrhea so try to change the diet too, some time antibiotic has to be given for few more days to eradicate the infection, moreover it could be antibiotic induce diarrhea, I would advise to finish the course of antibiotic and continue taking probiotic just be patience no need to worry it will come around soon hope this information helps.
