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

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
