Amoxicillin might be one of the reasons I have IBS

I had a really bad throat infection (so bad that he told me had I wanted a few more days, they might of had to operate :' ), so he put me on a double dose of amoxicillin to try and combat it, well it worked, but 3 days later I got a horrible rash & learned I was allergic (I had previously been given penicillin for infections in the past, with no ill effect).

About 6 months later I got another infection, this one minor, and in my ear, so I was given a non-penicillin based anti-biotic, and it clear my infection right up.. 2 months later my IBS came upon me.

Huh... sux, still not positive it had anything to do with that, but can't seem to find anything else in my history...

Just as a side note & question... for those who do experience pain, where to you feel it? Min is usually on the left side to back, rarely un the central front tummy unless I'm about to have a really bad case of D. It's not a lot of pain, more a bit of a throbbing... Anyone else have similar?
