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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
