Did you get resolution to this issue? I’m presently experiencing the same thing:/

Hi Judy...was the dental antibiotic called Clindamycin?  May wanna google "Clostridium Difficile" (C-Diff)  and see if your symptoms match, then ask doc to run stool sample tests for it (three days in a row/separate samples).  Good luck to you.

Judy, pick up some probiotics and give them a try. Antibiotics can knock the good bacteria in your system for a loop and that can cause changes in bowel functions. Try something like Culturelle and finish out the whole pack. Take the probiotics at LEAST 2-3 hours after taking any antibiotics, if you've still taking them.
