Diarrhea After Antibiotics

I took a round of Keflex about 2 weeks ago for 7 days (I finished up a week ago today). Didn't have any problems while on it, but since stopping I have become lactose intolerant and have had intermittent diarrhea and just generally feel tired and yucky. I've been taking probiotics (I did while I was on the Keflex too), immodium as necessary and I just realized today the lactose was exacerbating it so I'll stop that.

Any other suggestions most welcome! I crashed ouot for about 2 1/2 hours today because I was so beat. My body has been through a lot lately- gall bladder out May 17th, huge exam the week of June 9-16 and then got an infected salivary gland. but besides resting, probiotics and avvoiding lactose, is there anything else i sshould do?

I would make sure you're taking a high-grade (live) acidilopholus (sp!!) and as often as you can. Be kind to your GI tract with well-tolerated, gentle, foods. Bananas, rice, etc. Rest, relax - enjoy the long weekend!

Hmmm...My suggestions would also be stay on the probiotics, like we talked about in the other thread, and eat basic foods...no greasy, crazy spicy stuff, really high fiber foods too. I'd keep steering clear of dairy and would avoid really acidic foods like oj too. Get rest, stay hydrated. All the basic stuff is all I can come up with ;) Hope you feel better soon friend! Make sure you DEFINITELY do some laying around and movie watching this weekend! Dr. Jen's orders :)

I like Dr. Jen's and Stronger Today's orders- they work for me.

Looks like I'm forced to rest as I got glutened. Grrrr :angry: Bought some decaf hazelnut coffee to make as a treat ( I never drink coffee but since cutting out soy- which means most chocolate- I was craving a sweet glass of iced coffee). It never even occurred to me that flavored coffee might contain gluten. Yuck!

My head hurts, my stomach hurts and I'm so tired (sorry- just wanted to whine a little since I had fairly exciting plans for today :P ).

There is a product called FLORASTOR. It is a good yeast, not a bacteria, but it is supposed to do wonders for diarrhea especially. It is sold as a probiotic. I'ts expensive. I paid $52.00 for 50 pills. Anyway, just an option.

Sorry to hear that :( Well, I wasn't glutened, but I was dairyed. Huh, that doesn't work so well :) Anywho, it explains why I have felt awful all week, and with the brain fog. Its so mind-boggling to me, but dairy is what gives me the brain fog...like clockwork. Anyway, here's to a better day!

Yeah- it's crazy. For me there is a difference between getting glutened and getting 'soyed". Gluten gives me brain fog and all that fun stuff buyt soy gives me unbelievable muscle pain. Not sure which is worse but I'm almost tempted to say soy. NEVER thought I'd say that!

Here's to ALL of us feeling better. Hugs, Beverly

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...

      Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests.

      New painkiller, Journavx

      Hi all, I have to have gum surgery tomorrow and was wondering if I should ask for this new drug, Journavx, instead of Vicodin. I tried looking it up online and got, Not gluten free. There is no gluten in the ingredients for this drug. ???? Has anyone else had experience with Journavx? Advice? Many thanks, Charlotte

      Advice please

      By trents · Posted

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Desperately in need of some advice of possible 🫠 (sorry for the long post but I’m one exhausted mama) My daughter is just gone 2 years old, for as long as I can remember she’s had problems with her stomach, she was diagnosed with a Dairy and Soy allergy so has been dairy and soya free since around 7 weeks old. I’ve been begging the doctors to listen to me and to look into it, I came across celiac disease a few months ago and pushed for her to be tested. Some of her symptoms are  - Extreme stomach pain, she’s never had a night where she isn’t rolling around in her bed screaming in pain (not just a cry, she will be fast asleep and then let out a high pitch scream and start crying) this will go on all night! - Gas, I know gas is normal but she just doesn’t stop all day and night, and it smells so so bad! You can hear her from the other rooms in the house  - Bloating  - Slow growth and weight gain she’s still in 9-12 size clothes at 28 months - Iron deficiency  - Diarrhoea or constipated, or really mushy  - Constantly tired  - Complains of leg pains and gets cramps - Mouth Ulcers  - Gets infections like ear and tonsillitis every few weeks She’s super super fussy with food and just won’t eat! So trying to get gluten into her wasn’t easy as most days she just point blanks refuses  She had her blood test done last week and they said it came back clear but was showing she was pretty anemic! We are currently waiting for a referral to see a pedantic doctor and her dietician.  Im just completely exhausted, she’s constantly poorly and miserable and I hate seeing her like this and being fobbed of by doctors who just don’t seem to understand that I know my baby and I know something isn’t right!  Can the test be unreliable?  Any advice welcome🥺

      Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests. This phenomenon is known as seronegative celiac disease, which affects about 10% of celiac patients. Your partial HLA-DQ2 genetic result doesn't rule out celiac either, as a small percentage of celiac patients don't have the complete genetic markers. The fact that you've responded so dramatically to a gluten-free diet is another strong indicator that this is likely celiac disease rather than NCGS, since NCGS doesn't usually cause intestinal damage. Your doctor might consider ordering additional tests like IgG-based celiac tests (tTG-IgG or DGP-IgG), or repeating the endoscopy after you've been gluten-free for a longer period to check for healing. Many celiac specialists would actually diagnose you with celiac disease based on your biopsy results combined with your positive response to the gluten-free diet, regardless of the blood test results. It may be worth consulting with a gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac disease for further evaluation. Your experience highlights why celiac disease can be so challenging to diagnose and why doctors need to look at the whole clinical picture rather than relying on any single test.
