I'll be starting it today for a bout of strep throat. has not been a fun two weeks. what should i expect? will it cause things to go watery? can i do anything to counter that?

I haven't noticed watery stools from amoxicillin, but some soluble fiber (e.g. Metamucil or Konsyl) could bulk things up. More important is continence and lack of urgency, also things I haven't had disturbed by amoxicillin. I'd recommend *not* adding or increasing Imodium or other bowel slowers until/unless you have evidence that you need them.

I took it a couple of times for about 10 days each time along with root canal dental procedures. Side effects were wonderful: slowed down bowels, less gas. I actually liked using it.
No negatives.
