I'm really worried. I had really bad pains in my gut just before and had v soft poop when i wentto the bathroom. I still feel a bit weird and im worried im sick. But also im on penicillin and have been taking it for about 5 days, it has been giving me a weird stomach but never d* before. Do you think it's just a build up of penicillin causing this? I also have a headache.

The thing about drugs like that is that as well as killing off any bad bacteria they also can kill off the good bacteria in your gut and this can lead you to having some stomach issues. Don't worry I don't mean v* just D* and the good bacteria will restore itself when you finish the course. Have you thought about trying any of those yogurts that have the good stuff in?

Ooh that's a good idea. I have some normal yoghurt in at the moment, do you think that would help for now?

penicillin is well known for giving people the runs. They won't make you sick. How many days have yougot to go ?

[missminty]

2 days, im taking two three times a day. The doctor prescribed two four times a daybut i didnt thinkmy stomach could handle it! Thanks for the reassurance x

as soon as your finished with the medicine is when you should eat
yougurt with ACTIVE and LIVE CULTURES that will help your stomach
recoup...eat it three times a day. i just finished and had just the
same problem right before i finish with the soft d* like poop. but i
feel so much better now. eating the yogurt wont help if you are still
on medicine because it just gets killed by the penicillian too. i hope
you feel better

I really think you should be taking all that the doc prescribed!! I always get D* when I take antibiotics. Try not to worry and finish all the meds. Brandi
