Pages: 1 Antibiotics question       #372862 - 06/14/16 11:31 AM Edit Reply Quote AndrewIBSC Reged: 03/23/07 Posts: 159 Loc: PHiladelphia, PA 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!

First time on this message board.....but, Yes! I do have problems also with antibiotics..... Gastro Dr. put me on a new RX for IBS-D...called Xifaxan for 2 weeks straight. Well, it made me 10 times worse! Turns out it is a new antibiotic that supposedly helps with IBS....well def not a miracle drug. It definitely puts us sufferers in a quandary. Hope you are better.

If I absolutely have to take something I make sure I eat something first i.e. crackers with peppermint tea can help. -------------------- Ginny Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
