A long time ago a dear friend of the family who is a doctor (now retired) told me how to take antibiotics.

What you need to do is drink a large amount of water when you take the antibiotic. This moves the antibiotic swiftly through your GI tract and stomach and reduces the amount of discomfort (diarrhea, etc.) that you will experience. I assume this advice applies to all antibiotics -- unless, of course, the medication prohibits the drinking of water.

I've told some non-IBS people about this approach and all have told me their discomfort was greatly reduced when they drank a glass or two of water along with the antibiotic.

By the way, I get diarrhea and stomach cramps whenever I have to take an antibiotic.

Hope this remedy helps.
