Not Really Sure.....

Well, a few weeks ago, I thought possibly I had a bad tooth. Well after finding a dentist that actually took a patient, not of their own and getting checked out, it is my sinuses. Well, I do have allergies and I called my pcp and got a script for augmentin. Well at first it was fine, about the third day I felt sick, still in pain and figured it was all caused by the sinus inflamation. So I keep taking the medication, pain subsided after about 8 days and the doctor said to finish the meds cause he wrote it for 15 days. I have three days left and not taking it anymore.

I do have celiac, diagnosed by biopsy and then bloodwork and really never had any symptoms until I eat something now since going gluten free, or possibly in this case took a medication that I shouldn't have. My doctor knows I have celiac as well. I have felt bloated, stomache cramps, missed 2 1/2 days of work, nauseous, d but only slight until today, and also felt like I am there but not really. I know that sounds weird, but has anyone else felt like that and have any suggestions? Also does anyone really know what is in Augmentin? I tried looking it up but then you have to look those words up and then those words and get lost in figuring it all out.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I am calling the pharmacy and also calling the doctor to see if there is anything else that can be done.

Hi Lisa,

I can't help you with what's in augmentin but can say I cannot tolerate it either. For me, it was horrible stomach pains, the big D, and swollen fingers with a rash on my face. The doc had to switch me to something else. My pharmacists said that alot of people get D with augmentin but the swollen fingers and rash is not as common. Hope you feel better soon!

Augmentin makes me vomit.

I have heard it is very hard for many to digest.
