Antibiotics & Upset Tummy
22 Answers
Is this common? I can't remember every having a problem with them before and have been on plenty.
Had some flucloxicillin recently which made me feel quite sick but I figured it was being on methotrexate at the time affecting it somehow.
I was put on it again a couple of weeks ago for an infected ingrowing toenail and then got a horrible chest infection and was put on co-amoxiclav and prednislone last week (last dose of both today) along with inhalers. I've had a really upset stomach too - I thought it was the flucloxicillin but it's persisting still.
I'm on colesevelam for bile acid malabsorption (else I get chronic diarrhoea), 2 tablets 3 x a day, with each meal usually but that has had no effect either lately.
Is it likely to just be the antibiotics and could this have any effect on them and the steroids working? I do feel a little better than I did though still nowhere near better.
