Help! Stomach cramping a lot...

[HDubSleevery 25]

I went to the urgent care this morning because I coughed all night long. They said I have bronchitis. They prescribed Flonase and a z-pack. I took the z-pack crushed with applesauce. Now an hour later my stomach is cramping HARD. It is painful and I break out in a cold sweat. Has anyone had this happen before?

I have a call in to my doctor but just waiting in agony here. I've closed my door and put my head on the desk waiting for the feeling to pass.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well! Are you running fever? I haven't had this happen since surgery so I am afraid I can't help you, but hoping you hear something back from your dr soon. Feel better!

Did they tell you to crush it? I am able to take pills whole, just wondering if maybe it is absorbing different? I hope you are felling better!!

You may need to eat something more than applesauce with those pills. They are pretty strong and maybe your stomach is upset about it.

I guess this is my first real interaction with the medical community not having a good grasp on how our sleeves work. The doc I saw this morning said it would be fine and didn't even offer me a liquid. It's weird because one of the nurses in his office had WLS in April. I got an email back from Dr. Aceves saying that I definitely needed to have something in my stomach when I take the medicine. The applesauce should be used as a way to get the medicine down but not enough to coat my sleeve.

I called the pharmacist and she confirmed that I could crush it because it wasn't a time release or some other big words she used that I can't even attempt to spell.

The pain passed after about 45 minutes and now I am having diarrhea (sorry TMI). I hope this bronchitis gets better for all this drama! Thanks for all the guidance folks. I am going to bed as early as I can tonight.

I just had to take antibiotics and the directions say to take on an empty stomach.

So I did and I thought I was going to die. I got violently ill. NEVER AGAIN! Take on a full stomach.
