1464587 tn?1307491605 Does anyone else get incredible inflammation in the intestines and chest/lungs from taking probiotics? This is the 2nd time its happened. The first time was with culterelle and it got so bad and to the point I was crying all day at work, almost couldn't walk and breath...... it subsided when I stopped taking them....... I take sustenex and do VERY well on it but it is not enough with taking azithromycin everyday. So I take an additional one now called something flora.....
Avatar f tn Not sure if I’m still infected with chlamydia or if it’s just inflammation from taking so many antibiotics. I started taking probiotics and using hydrocortisone and cloritimazole cream for itching. I haven’t been sexually active since the day I got tested and treated. What should I do? Please help any advice is helpful.
Avatar n tn I have had an infection for just about 4 months now. I have no idea how I got it, but I ended up giving it to my gf. She went to the doc and he told her it was BV. I have tried taking Ciprofluaxin, Azithromycin, and Levofluaxin (plz excuse the spellings) but anti-biotics just don't really seem to do anything. My symptoms are so minor that I didn't even realize I had it until my gf told me I gave her something.
Avatar f tn s been 6 weeks since I stopped antibiotics, and about 2 weeks since I stopped all probiotics, and I am getting better daily. Now to go see my LLMD and my gastro and tell them what my diagnosis is, har har har. I am thinking I should take some anti-yeast meds to kill the 'factory' once and for all, and then start over with abx and ONE kind of probiotic, but will see what the drs say. Live and learn!
Avatar n tn I HAVE A SOLUTION! You need to be taking PROBIOTICS!!!! I just wanted to give y'all an update if you're watching this post and need answers. I visited the chiro again to ask him to check to see if my tail bone or back was out again because someone said one adjustment might not do it because it doesn't always stay put in the first time (if in fact that was the reason for my buzzing). My tailbone was out again. But that wasn't the problem because it made no difference.
Avatar f tn So I had chlamydia about a month ago, approximately, and my tonsils were very swollen, so when I got treated for the chlamydia they prescribed me azithromycin, so I took the medication and within a week my symptoms were going away one by one by my tonsils still are very swollen to this day and they don't seem to be going down, ive always had generally large tonsils but never this large. My tonsils have these little holes in them and sometimes the holes with have puss in them.
Avatar m tn I have been taking probiotics the entire time and already tested negative twice for c-diff, parasites, etc.. I had two seemingly formed stools for two days recently, and then today back to loose sludge. Has anyone else had diarrhea for this long after taking antibiotics?

Avatar f tn Several months ago my doctor gave me a short course of an antibiotic (azithromycin) for bronchitis. I immediately noticed a change in my bowel movements that has continued until now. Previously, they almost always floated, but now they almost always sink. I'm also seeing more little balls. I also pass gas pretty often, but that has always been true. I did not change my diet or exercise. I've tried eating yogurt but see no effect from it. What's up?
Avatar m tn would that be why for the past few months i have had yeast/fungal issues, they come and go in my groin and under stomach and arm area, and little yeast bumps on body?
Avatar n tn s possible that you may have skewed the bacterial count and type in your GI tract with the antibiotic use - and Cipro and flagyl are two of the big offenders, but not the only ones. I don't know where you're from, but pick up some probiotics and use them. You may have to be on them for several months to start to make some changes, but do it. Some decent brands are Culturelle, Digestive Advantage-IBS and FloraQ.
Avatar n tn During this time I have tried taking numerous, heavy doses of various antibiotics, such as Azithromycin / Clarithromycin, Cipro and Amoxicillin. The Azithromycin seemed to have a strong impact, significantly lessening the symptoms, to the point that I almost felt normal. However, these symptoms quickly returned once my prescription ran out.
237053 tn?1258828426 I also am out of my probiotics and am nervous about taking the abx without them. But last night I took one amox, and one azithro and literally a couple hours later I feel worse (anxiety, sweats, and extreme dizziness). I still feel the same this morning. Absolutely horrible. I'm so afraid I'm not going to recover from this horrible disease, or that something else is going on. It's always something. I'm so frustrated I could SCREAM!
237053 tn?1258828426 Okay so I restarted my abx again on Sunday (azithromycin, and amox) today I'm having stomach cramps and diarrhea. I really don't want to stop my meds if possible, but should I be concerned about this? Or is this simply just side effects? Anyone else get this on these meds? IT's weird, cause I was on Ceftin for 3 months with absolutely NO tummy issues. I've only been on these for a couple days:(. What should I do?
Avatar m tn This is about to be a long story so bare with me. This all started about 3 and 1/2 months ago when I had unprotected sex with a girl I barely knew. 3 weeks after I started getting a burning sensation when peeing so I automatically knew i had an std. Needless to say i go to the doctors and they tell me i have chlamydia so they prescribe me azithromycin 1g, pill form. Took that, made my symptoms worse. I now am having discharge and still tingling on the tip of my penis.
Avatar f tn I went back to the doctor and she told me I had Oral Thrush and was given a prescription nystatin and needed probiotics. I did this and everything cleared up. Fast forward two weeks: I got all four wisdom teeth removed. I was given a prescription of azithromycin and a methylprednisolone pack. I also was informed to rinse my mouth out with warm salt water. On the last day of the antibiotic (day 5) I noticed a weird taste and that same discoloration on my tongue.
Avatar f tn I tell you all this not to scare you away from probiotics, but to be aware of the yeast-probiotics and that if you have a vaginal yeast infection or get one while on yeast-probiotics, your MD should investigate, and don't back down until he or she does. Like anything else that goes in your body, there's upside and downside. C.
Avatar f tn I am 35 weeks pregnant and I just fought a urethritis and cervicitis with antibiotics about 2 weeks ago. I can feel like I still have symptoms of an infection because of the smell and color fluids (yellow or light brown)coming out of my vagina. I was wondering if it would be safe for me to use Femina Flora vaginal inserts in form of capsules. It's a dose of probiotics that I thought might help me restore the flora in my vagina and help with any possible candida growth...
666921 tn?1254990618 sometimes a probiotic will add a prebiotic called FOS and for quite a few folks that can cause gas and bloating.
Avatar f tn They symptoms of bacterial infection ( urge to frequently urinate and unable to pass adequate urine, dribbling, burning and itching) had vanished after I took Niftran, Dio-1 and Fole 150 but now they seem to have appeared again. I constantly feel the urge to urinate but could pass only a little and I tend to dribble too. Its usually wet/leaky near and inside vagina.
4705307 tn?1447970322 Cant eat, and what I do eat refuses to exit my body. I have been in urgent care 3x in the last month. And of course given so much junk that doesn't help. Every morning I go through so much pain its making me crazy. Today I bought some Nature Made triple Probiotics. Could doing this be harmful, I do have a GI appointment, but that is not until the end of next month.
Avatar n tn Hi,I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I will like to know if I could take probiotics during my pregnancy?I just want to know if this will be safe.Im planning on breastfeeding but I been having a infection or at least that's what I think.But I heard if a I have a yeast infection or could be thrush the baby could possible get it and I don't want this.Thank you!!!!
Avatar f tn I recently took a dose of probiotic and experienced severe abdominal cramping, bloating and pain for over 6 hours and the next day I continued to have a burning pain in my back on the right side. Based on this reaction should I continue to take the probiotic's?
Avatar m tn How long would it take for probiotics to clear up or make a difference on bacterial overgrowth?
Avatar f tn My dr. Prescribed me probiotics and fish oil to ease my horrible daily migraines. Didn't help much. But since my dr. Prescribed it I'm sure it wont hurt the baby. Drs. Opinions are always good! Buti.
Avatar f tn Anything from illness to stress to medication use can skew the number and count of bacterial organisms in the intestinal tract. That, in turn, can quickly or more slowly lead to dysfunction. I believe probiotics can be beneficial for many things, including just general good health. If you do some reading on the subject, you'll find that the chemicals given off by the bacteria may be necessary for the health of the cells in the colon as well as mood and health of the 'mind.
Avatar f tn I worked at a birth center for 3 years and we always kept probiotics on hand for the ladies to buy. Several weeks ago I had such horrible gas that I took a couple doses at the recommendation of a student midwife. Definitely talk to your Dr tho if you have any questions about it.
