Common Questions and Answers about Can antibiotics cause weight loss

antibiotics

Avatar m tn Being ill can cause weight loss and the fact that you are on anitbiotics - you may actually be eating less than you think you are. I third the opinion that you should see your doctor. I would specifically recommend that you ask to have your thyroid checked as it's possible that you might be "hyperthyroid" which means that your thyroid could be working overtime, which speed up your metabolism, since thyroid pretty much controls metabolism.
Avatar f tn It would be much more likely that the gallbladder problem is secondary to the weight loss rather than a cause of it. Extreme weight loss is a common precursor of gallbladder disease.
18663 tn?1198171815 Hi, I am taking several drugs for a heart condition (Coumadin, Amiodorone, Pravastatin, Carvedilol, Terazosin, Diovan, Aspirin). Is it possible that heart drugs can cause hearing loss? If so - is the hearing loss permanent? Thanks for your help.
Avatar m tn I have taken quite a bit of different antibiotics back in May. I have stopped taking it a about 3 weeks ago, maybe longer and noticed that I have a hard time gaining weight now. I have had bad anxiety and depression as well recently which may have caused my appetite to go down drastically but when it comes back I start to eat a lot and it doesn't seem like I can gain weight like I used too.
Avatar n tn Hi Stretch marks may be noted due to decrease in skin's elasticity that may be a result of aging or weight loss. I would not be very worried about this unless you have been experiencing some weight loss lately. The red bumps may be a case of folliculitis which may be due to shaving the area, sweat, dust and tight outfits. I suggest that you stick to a daily exercise regimen to improve blood flow to these areas. Good circulation will help improve the skin’s appearance.
522699 tn?1250590716 Your weight can fluctuate at least 2-3 pounds from morning to night and approximately 2 pounds from water loss/gain. So, please, do not let that derail your effort or make you feel disappointed! YOU are Amazing! You are making such positive changes and are committed to stay on track, even while Dave is home ... so PROUD of YOU!!! Enjoy your time with him and your daughter.
Avatar m tn I ma now working on trying to do whatever I can to feel better and, maybe, improve the fat loss. As long as I can keep moving forward, which I have recently, then I feel better. You will get there, especially after all else been cleared and there is only one thing left it can be. Not saying I know for sure it is Lyme Disease, but there is a good chance your tests will show something.
Avatar f tn Yes it can cause weight loss.
Avatar f tn Women can be late for a variety of reasons and illness is one of them. Needing antibiotics means you've been sick recently, so yes, that can be the cause of why you are late. Since you are on the pill AND used protection, pregnancy would not be the case. :>) Other reasons women are late are changes in routine, weight gain or loss, stress or just a blip on the hormonal radar. Every woman is late at one time or another.
Avatar n tn ok the main thing is i'm usually 160-165 lbs for age 21 5'11", and i'm now 135 lbs and this was over a period of 3 months and i'm trying to gain weight again. Also I have yellow diarrhea alot, thats the most frightening thing after 3 or 4 days,could it be Giardia. I get chills frequently and my lower left side of my abdomen cramps alot i also have alot of coughing going on, but mucas looks fine.
Avatar f tn Yes please talk to your dr, there are many things that could cause rapid or excessive weight loss and some of them can be serious. In addition to Thyroid and GI testing maybe ask about diabetes. It seems odd, but it can cause weight loss.
Avatar f tn The cancer steroids causes some effects like weight and so on but itis not mandatory that weight gain will happen, it may or may not happen depending upon your body.
Avatar f tn Can a person who is not a diabetic take metformin for weight loss.. I need to loose 60lbs i have tried other prescription's diet pill's and i'am immune to them they work for awhile then nothing.
Avatar f tn See how you can change your lifestyle to incorporate exercise. Buddy system also helps. You can find a friend either in neighborhood or online with similar weight loss targets. Thereafter you can either exercise The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.
1688437 tn?1307982369 ve actually had friends tell me that the easiest part of losing weight was cutting out soda. Stress can also cause some weight loss so the stress of a new job cam be causing some of that as well. Try not to think the worst and be happy that youre losing some weight if you would like to lose some weight. During my worst anxiety episodes i lost 14lbs in about a month and a half. Its not uncommon for stress to cause some weight loss.
Avatar f tn My addiction began as an exploration of drugs and soon became an assistant for weight-loss (i have also suffered with eating disorders). I began very heavy and daily use of amphetamines about 7 or 8 months ago. when use, i will crush up the amphetamine salts, as well as Adderall XR (which is a much more powerful pharmaseutical). Recently I have been diagnosed with a serious kidney infection. My only problem is that the antibiotics are not working in the manner that they are supposed to.
Avatar f tn re going to use them take them at least 3 hours after dosing with antibiotics and continue them LONG after the antibiotics are discontinued. Some studies show that probiotics can also help get rid of H. pylori. Since you also mentioned skin rashes, is there any possibility that you might have an intolerance to gluten - in wheat, rye and barley products?
Avatar f tn All I can say is, I wish I had this problem, especially if you are not ill. I swear I just look at food, and on goes a kilo or two. I put on 20 kilos in the 9 years since having my uterus removed, and have just recently had my ovaries removed, so I'm hoping it doesn't cause any more weight gain. Keep up your healthy diet, but maybe you can allow yourself a few more of lifes (fattening) little luxuries. Have some for me while you're at it.
1172209 tn?1263427216 I would say to make sure you are getting some exercise, especially if you were on a healthy diet before. My psychologist told me that sometimes when you stabalize and you're not being manic as often, sometimes you don't realize that you're not doing as much physically as before (if you were one of those get up and go mania people.) So you do not realize that not only are you on a medication that can cause weight gain, but you're also not burning as many calories as you were.
Avatar m tn These toxins have been shown to stimulate the formation of new fat cells, thereby promoting weight gain. In addition, these cause leptin resistance, which significantly impairs your brain's ability to respond to the I'm full signal that's normally prompted after eating. You need to avoid sugar, GMO foods. Protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and fat in that order has the greatest effect on being satisfied.
