Hi
The digestive problems that you are experiencing seem to be coming from a stomach infection. I will advice that you take steps to increase your immunity like take fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and take hygienic food and clean drinking water.
Pepto-bismol is also causing side-effects though it is a mild antibiotic and was helping with your infection. But when antibiotics are discontinued, the infection can return.
