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

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to...

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
