I'm on a good probiotic but these antibiotcs are making my gut screwed up. Not diarhea, but bloating, gas, frequent visits to the toilet, a little cramping, etc. Is this normal? Do we just live with this stuff?

Hi dan67 [hi]

My first questions would be - How long have you been these meds? And what type of diet are you taking? (Anti-Candida, no sugar, no yeast?)

Only a week. I'm eating no sugar, and low carbs. But I do have some fruit, and I can't go zero carbs or I feel terrible!

Don't put up with it. You may need to ask your doctor for some Diflucan. Are you taking Nystatin as a preventative?

Stay away from fruit until you get this under control. Also limit or eliminate artificial sugars.

Are you taking at LEAST 100 billion CFU's of probiotic?
