Diarrhea returned after cipro
I went to the emergency room for diarrhea and vomitting. They gave me ciprofloxacin for an antibiotic and I had never taken it before. When I took the 3rd dose (500mg per dose), I had the worst diarrhea ever so I decided to stop the antibiotics. At the 7 day, my diarrhea returned and I took ultra carbon but it didn't work. So far, I had never taken any probiotics. Any advice?
Diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. And it is essential to complete the full course or stop only under the advice of the doctor. May be your infection, that caused you diarehhea and vomiting in the first place is still there and the doctor may even start the cycle of anti biotics again. Probably a different one this time. Stay hydrated. It can be anything from infection to an irritable bowel syndrome. Curd is good.
Hello~It appears that you certainly did have a reaction to the antibiotic. Unfortunately, they can have that affect on some folks. I would take a good, high potency pro-biotic to put the friendly bacteria in your gut, this might also help with the diarrhea issues.
