Took iv antibiotics and now gut issues a week later

Had some gi bug in november, took amoxicillin a week later for wisdom tooth and then has stomach issues non stop with stuff triggering it randomly like peanuts or foei gras

Anyways fast forward to march and i hopped on bile acid binders and felt fine all the way till around april1 where i had to do a septoplasty and turbinate reduction. Doc gave me IV antibiotics amoxicillin again for a day and no more. Was fine day1-6 post op

And suddenly on day 7 intense urgency and frequent small poops all in the morning with a burning feeling in the sigmoid colon

Its horriblein the morning with intense urgency but after lunch its usually just mild burning in the sigmoid area and no poops till next day morning again

Im pretty sure its a acute flair and my GI said that since its IV antibiotics and i was exposed to it for a day only it should just be a flare and i would be out of the woods soon.

But its day 4 of the flare and although its slightly better im still wondering howlong more this flare will last

Anyone with a similar thing can share howlong did it take for u to leave house in themorning again

Ps the bile acid binders worked amazingly back then and even now during the flare ive not had a single diarhea just looser ish stool and urgency
