Avatar m tn Facial rashes, night sweats and the closing of my throat. That is when I stopped using Bactrim. All other side effects are gone except for the closing of my throat that comes on and off, especially when I'm done eating. It's been going on for 2 weeks (since my last bactrim dose). It doesn't make my breathing or eating any difficult but is just very annoying. It stopped for 2 days and happened one late night, 2-3 hours after drinking alcohol.
Avatar n tn t a relationship between the two even in the absence of positive lab results. I have no other symptoms like blood, fever, etc. I am improving but very slowly and it has been about 2 weeks now since the onset. Is it possible to get a false negative on the stool tests? How long does something like this generally last and can it get better with a bland diet and probiotics or does it require more aggressive therapy?

Avatar m tn but now and then for the past couple of months I have noticed blood on my stool and with some mucus on my stool I should probably point out I have had mucus in my stool since I noticed the effects of what I believe is IBS! Im just really worried about the blood.... its bright red in colour and there isnt tooo much of it, it just sits on one side of the stool. Im not sure whether its the actual stool or the mucus that is attached to it that is red... did some research...
Avatar n tn thanks! i tried all your suggestions and there hasn't been any pain since. i'm still experiencing mild diarrhea but i guess i'm one of the unlucky 5% who experience side effects from azithromycin. thanks so much!

Avatar f tn Within 5 minutes of entering the suite, I touched the door knob to enter the bathroom and then laid down to take a nap. I felt something in my eye that flew in from the sheet and I began probing my eye with my finger to get it out. At approximately 9:00pm, I was sitting in the living room area and pulled up a stool. As I was pushing the stool back under the table, I cut my finger on a piece of glass. It was bleeding pretty badly.

Avatar m tn However, today, noticed that I had what appeared to be blood in toilet and and upon wiping, bright red paper. Earlier in day, noticed slight pain on my left side below rib cage and later noticed I was gasey and burping a lot. My history, had H.Py.ori received treatment for one week and finished anti biotics on the 13th of June, felt ok for a couple of weeks and noticed belching came back and was told about possibility of candida overgrowth of which I had symptoms.
Avatar f tn re not watching the fat in your diet, this med in addition to fat in the diet (after having your GB removed) can cause problems such as those you're mentioning. If you are consuming fats, try cutting back and see if that's of help.
Avatar f tn You might have hemmorhoids from straining and they can bleed. If it is bright red blood you have nothing to worry about. If you start having black stools then go to the er because that would mean you are bleeding on the inside.
Avatar n tn Have had a bunch of blood work done today and am scheduled for a Colonoscopy to rule out polyps or worse, as there is blood in stool samples. Guess I was hoping that the vomiting and diarrhea was a result of the overdose. I have been seeing a Psychiatrist for depression since last September. Will keep you posted as to my progress.
Avatar m tn This time, the pain started as more like a a surface itch, though I could feel a deeper discomfort too. I also had bright red blood in my stool fairly regularly - though that has stopped now and could be piles, which I’ve had before. Went back to the doctor, and he tested my stool for bacteria and parasites and my breath for H. pylori. Everything negative again. He wants to try a colonoscopy next - he says he suspects colitis.
Avatar f tn I've had a lot of ongoing health issues which have included nausea, lightheadedness, blood sugar swings, etc. I had a doctor's appointment two weeks ago and she prescribed NuvaRing because I wanted to go on birth control. I felt really good for about a week besides some cramping, then I started getting really nauseous in the middle of the day on the 17th.
Avatar f tn I would say that of the few side effects I get from my meds, the constipation would be the worst one. Then again I could probably do more to correct this, but I really hate high fiber foods. I may try that metamucil that xanweaner mentioned.
Avatar f tn Last night I had quite a bit of blood come out when I went to the bathroom, then this morning the right side of my stomach started to hurt really bad and it has hurt all day and now tonight along with the abdominal pain I now have dark red blood clots in my stool. Yesterday it was bright red and now it is dark red and clots. I am so scared and I do not know what to do. Please help. I am 29 years old and I am normally pretty healthy. I have never had a problem like this before.
568812 tn?1379165794 Hi i am on 40mg of Omeprazole for acid reflux. Has anyone here had side effects from it like loose stools? For the past two weeks or so my bowel movements have been rather odd...loose in the morning but ok towards the end of the day...no blood, but causing soreness around my anus afterwards....
Avatar m tn Hi, just a week ago, I began to have watery stools after I took only two pills of azithromycin which was part of a three antibiotic pack I received from my nurse practitioner for a case of what he said was bronchitis, but since I had had c diff two years before, due to Clindamycin, I didn't take any others. The watery stools stopped after the next couple of days, but they were still unformed.
Avatar f tn hi. i'm 21 years old.. and i'm being paranoid of the fact that i have blood in stools.. last year or maybe 10 months ago... i also had the same problem which prompted me and my mom to go see a doctor... in which i also underwent flexible sigmoidoscopy in which he found out that there was a hemorrhoid.. and then he prescribed me some meds...but went when we got to the pharmacy one of the meds prescribed were unavailable... now, months later the bleeding came back..
Avatar f tn It was happened together that blood in the stool and feeling of fullness in the stomach.
Avatar n tn If the BM is very dark or the color of coffee grinds its probably blood in your stool. I would get it checked out. Do you have stomach pain. Have you taken Pepto Bismol? Pepto makes your stool that way and is often confused with blood or and Ulcer.
Avatar n tn Are there any known side effects for Shen Calmer and Liver Happy Capsules? My dog has been taking them for about a week now. He is taking them for anxiety, no signs of relief yet, but no prescriptions have helped him so this is our last resort. The second day he vomited and the vet said she hadn't ever seen that so we have kept going.
Avatar m tn Anytime you have blood in your stool you should go see your doctor. Make sure you are plenty hydrated as diarrhea dehydrate you very quickly. Food poisoning can cause bloody stool and so can a number of other things. In order to treat your problem you need to find out what the problem is and get checked out by a doctor!
Avatar m tn I have been having blood in my stool for over 3 weeks now. It was red blood mixed in th stool. And some black spot in stool but not sure if it was blood or not. Sometimes I have cramp on my right side of stomach(mid to lower). I have seen my Doctor and a specialist about this. My specialist thinks it is a hemorroid problem. But I have a feeling that it is not a hemorroid. If it is hemorroid, will the bleeding last this long? I need your opinion please... Thanks.
Avatar m tn I looked it up to see what it was and it appears to have some serious side effects. Is this something I should be concerned about? If this warrants a separate thread, I will gladly open one. Thanks in advance.
