Hi,

Yes, this is indeed very normal. Especially the metronidazole can be very hard on the stomach and bacterial colonies of the intestinal tract, and bloating, diarrhea and stomach pain is common during and after metro-treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
