Hello this is mike and i went to the doctor a few months back for prostate pain.. and the doctor said i had bacteria in my prostate. In which he gave me cipro to take.. took that for a month and the side effects were so b ad that i had to stop using.. I went back in and he gave me a three month antibiotic called augmentin.. So i changed my diet and started taking the medication.. I stopped eating red meat, no sugar, and low- carbs. Really low carbs.. The medicine started giving me bad side effcts, like stomach pain, head burning, joint pain, bad gas, stay bloated.. severe stomach cramping. So i stopped taking the medicine.. And then the stomach problems got worser.. Its been a month know since i stopped taking the medicine, and i still get extreme gas, bloated all the time, severe contracting, nausea, and stomach allergies to certain foods. Ive lost fiftteen pounds and i did a colon cleanse because i thought it was a bug i had. That didnt work.. A went back to the doctor he told me it was from the antibiotis.. He said they killed all the bacteria in my stomach, and i needed to est yougurt and take probiotics.. In which i do. It helped a lil bit but the problems still exist.. Is it a time limit in which you have to give the probiotics, or could i have candida. Or stomach cancer??
