Has anyone lost weight due to long term antibiotics?

Yesterday U had best physio session in six weeks (three of which were cancelled for reasons outside my control). One physio remarked I looked like I had lost weight and the scales came out for a weigh in (non everyone joined this semi-public event) and I was 1st 8lb lighter. That puts me a mere 9lb above my upper target weight. Strange as last year I was stuck and was told I had put myself into starvation mode. It is slightly worrying as I was not trying. I suspect it is all the exotic anti-biotics (for my foot/leg issues) affecting my stomach. I have two appointments besides physio next week and hopefully one will have a suitable set up so I can double check.
