Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such situation is caused by chronic bacterial infection. Please note that most of antibiotics kills good intestinal bacteria which protect intestines from infection. If there is no good bacteria, bad bacteria are free to grow. That is why, with every antibiotic, probiotic should be also taken.
I suggest you to try Rifaximine treatment along with probiotic intake. If this wont help, please have stool test and stool culture test.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
