Hello,

I am prone to sinus infections and never use antibiotics (at least for the last 10 years) out of fear of them causing intestinal issues. So I end up duking it out with the sinus infection for up to a month. I know I could go to a minute clinic and get an antibiotic and be done with it in under a week but I have this fear of using antibiotics. My question is do people with IBS have a tougher time with antibiotics than the general public? I just don't want to make it harder on myself unless I need to. And I would only take the antibiotics when need be. Maybe every couple of years. Thank you for any insight!

Take care,

Andrew

Antibiotics can make IBS symptoms worse in some people while others find an improvement while taking them
