I have not been feeling myself. Can someone please help?


Hi All, I  recently I took Nitrofurantoin 100 mg for a UTI and broke out in severely itchy rash, had vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. I took 2 doses and gyno doctor asked me to stop taking this medicine. I have taken this medication several times before but I listened to my doctor and stopped ASAP. Symptoms disappeared except I still have diarrhea 4 days later, yellow in color. I also have pain under right rib. I’m scared in pastx I have had gastritis, diverticulosis & had CT that showed 2.6cm cavernous hemangioma in the lateral segment of the left hepatic lobe (liver). A 5 mm cyst is present in the liver anterolaterally at the junction of the right & left lobes. I wondering could this reaction to this medication be a result of my liver? My gyno told me it’s a med reaction but this CT showed this 3 years ago. My GI doctor didn’t seem concerned as blood looked good. I don’t drink am over weight. Lost a lot of weight quickly in 6 months & gained most back. Have not really exercised but eat pretty healthy except for starches. Also I have taken Lexapro on & off 10mg for 5 years for anxiety. Any advise is so helpful. Thank you. God bless.
