HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the condition of diarrhea might have been treated with numbers of antibiotic ant that might have disturbed the intestine flora in my thought this could be the reason for continue passing stool, in initial stage the condition should not be given too much antibiotic, now just be patient and stop all the medicine and tried probiotic and best would be lactobacillus, take care in diet, it should be light diet without oily, spice and fiber, curd would be much benefitted hope this information helps.
