What Causes Loose Bowel Movements With Orange Spots?
I was switched from macrobid to keflex for a uti due to heavy diarrhea and nausea. I have been off the macrobid for 48 hours. This morning when I had a bm (still somewhat loose) I saw orange spots in the toilet afterward. I did try to eat a more normal diet yesterday which included chinese orange chicken (I know fried foods aren t the greatest after diarrhea). Does this indicate a problem?

Hello,
The orange spots with loose bowel movements co-relate with the intake of Chinese orange chicken only, nothing to worry.
Advisable to avoid non-veg, junk foods, oily, spicy till complete recovery.
Addition of GI specific antibiotic as Metronidazole or Rifaximin with probiotics as lactobacillus help best for early recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
