AshMarie794 164 Posted October 22, 2018 How did your tummy and body respond to antibiotics after surgery? I have had a horrible cold that I am afraid has now turned into something worse. So later today I will be going to my primary and I will more than likely need antibiotics. Any suggestions of what has worked and what hasn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AshMarie794 164 Posted October 22, 2018 I think my biggest thing is how effective they will be... And more of a woman concern is with taking antibiotics normally if you don't also eat some yogurt or do a Probiotics you can also get a yeast infection. Don't want a compound issues just to get rid of a cough and get my voice back. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it did help a lot when I look back to when I was on Antibiotics- no yeast infections no crazy digestive issues creaping up (Sometimes i ate plain Greek yogurt too, lots of beans- food for the microbes) Edited October 22, 2018 by GreenTealael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But CANNOT do pro-prebiotic. They reek havoc in my belly. Before and after surgery I tried them but my surgeon said NO. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up on a steroid and two different antibiotics. I didn't notice any difference other than my arms and hands were tingly. Doc said it was from the steroid. Then a couple weeks later went on another two antibiotic's for a severe UTI. I didn't have any issue with those. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
