Post-antibiotics guts

2 replies

I finished a five-day course of clarithromycin last Wednesday, nearly a week ago. Never had gut troubles from a short course of antibiotics before, but I did this time.

I always eat live yogurt and home-made sauerkraut. I've added an twenty billion organisms probiotic supplement since finishing the antibiotics. Yet my bowls are looser and windier every day.

Is there something else I can do, or do I just have to wait it out?

You should submit a stool
sample to check for C diff infection, see if you can call your GP tomorrow

Oh joy.

I've checked the NHS website and I don't think I've got C Dif. But now I know what to look out for and will go to the GP if I get more symptoms.

It hasn't got any worse since I first posted, so 🤞 it will start improving soon.
