I Had A Stomach Bug That Started Just Over 2

I had a stomach bug that started just over 2 weeks ago; slight fever (maybe), not throwing up but tired/sick feeling off and on for about 5 days with a lot of diarrhea; after a week I felt pretty normal but still had diarrhea, although less often. I feel fine now, with no diarrhea for the past 5 days but still have more BM's than normal and they are very loose, some more than others. Certain food really make it worse. I have tried Imodium (small dose) a few times and it helps a lot and started on some probiotics and eating soluble fiber as much as possible. I tend to worry a lot. I'm a type A. Also, I was on antibiodics that ended just before this whole thing started (ear infection) and had a major stressor the month before (a new family pet had a terrible disease that really bothered me). I am 64, in good health and a runner. Is this a normal thing to have happen and any advice on how to proceed?
