Can't tell if I'm glutened or reacting from antibiotic

I had been having some issues with a bad tooth and the dentist gave me a prescription for Amoxicillin.  Seems like every day this week I have felt glutened in some way.  Have pretty much finished the antibiotic but was wondering if anyone else has had the same reaction after taking an antibiotic.  My stomach feels like it is in knots, I don't have an appetite, I don't think I have come in contact with gluten as I try to be extra careful.  It is almost like my anxiety level is at a 10 and I can't focus like I could just over a week ago.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you check to make sure the amoxicillin was gluten free? If so and it is gluten-free, then I would say the amoxicillin has destroyed the good bacteria in your gut right along with the bad. That's what antibiotics do. That's the way they work. Whenever taking an antibiotic, one needs to also load up on the probiotics to restore the good bacteria in your gut.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Your response on this matter is what I expect. You’ve had a similar episode years ago, but this one is lasting longer!

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?
