How long should antibiotic-related intestinal side effects last once the medicine is done?

Applying castor oil on the tummy( externally) can cure you completely of this problem.

Please do note: apply externally only.
Good Luck

Try eating ginger biscuits/cookies. Ginger is a stomach calmer/healer and was very big in England. They helped my nausea and diarreah a lot !

i was taking cipro and flagly for ibs colitis how long does it take to get the drugs out of my system they make me feel sick and can not sleep well at all few hours a ady most

I found this site after searching in google and this exactly matches my symptoms, I have been taking Clindamycin for a skin related infection and also doctor gave me a shot of CEFTRIAXONE the first day since he saw puzz coming out as well. From that day i have been experiencing diarrhea for 4-5 times and the doctor prescribed Doxycycline as an alternative to Clindamycin.
Now i do not have the feeling of Got to go but whenever i go i have been experiencing Loose Stools (Watery, Green to brownish) from the past 12 days.

I have stopped taking the Antibiotics for the past 5 days. But my doctor wanted to take the Stool test as well. Hopefully this goes away in 3 days.

I don't have intestine problems before and I could eat anything without any trouble. I've also taken antibiotics before, 2-3 weeks at a time and just have mild stomach upset...nothing to complain about at all.

Then after THE surgery a month ago , and I'm sure alot of antibiotics intraveneously, and I am having (just in the mornings..about 3-4 hours) loose BM or formed BM that breaks up when flushed followed by cramps and then another movement and follow by more cramps. 80% of the time, the BM has particles...like I'm not disgesting all the food and actually see tomatoes and bell peppers (sorry!). I only have gas in the morning intially, but just the last few days, getting gas in the evening...so I'm hopeful that I'm getting back to normal ? (please!!!) . I can't confidently get out of the house until about 4 hours after I wake. Very disturbing and depressing. Is loose BM the same as diarrhea? I've got cramps like D but it's not waterly or noisy (sorry, gotta mention that).

I called the DR and he suggested Immodium AD. It's still the same...formed but breaks up later. I called to ask how long am I supposed to take Immodium...cuz the box says it should take care of it in 2 days...and it's been 2 days and still loose...but he didn't even have the courtesy to call back !

Tried probiotics for more than a week already. All the sites that I've visited just have complaints like mine but I have yet to read that someone actually got better. That is very hopeless because I'm thinking that this is how my life will be from this surgery forward. I'm soooooooo sad. Since the DR didn't call back, I think he's ignoring the fact that I have a very serious problem with my gut or he just knows that there's no solution. Wish they never gave me the antibiotics and just wait a few days to see if I need it. Just want to whine....

Hi Nancy,

I really understand what your going through as i am having the same problem. I actually found this thread due to searching information on this topic. I was on Trimethropine for 10 days and started diarhoea half way through the course, i thought no worries its all part of the side effects but I finished the course over 2 weeks ago and i still have chronic loose stools. My meals are literally falling through my gut !. I have had stool tests that came back negative for C-Diff. I thought i had C-Diff as i have also had bouts of passing nausea but this has since improved. My doctor sent me for blood tests today for blood counts and protein tests etc. He is not worried about colitis as i have no blood in my stools but i have chronic, explosive gas and abdo cramps. Doctor wants to talk to me again if it hasnt cleaned up in a further 2 weeks. It is clearly the antibiotics that have done this to me but i am so broken from this exhausting episode.. i hope that we both get better soon.
