Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Oh, wise and learned group, I have a question, maybe someone can answer. Does anyone else have trouble with taking antibiotics and getting diarheaa? I just thought I finally got my lower track under some kind of control, (and nasty hemmorhoids to boot!) after months of really loose and frequent poops., but then last week I ended up with a really bad rootcanal/infection. Root canal is over but the dentist put me on Penicillin VK 250mg every 6 hrs till finished (I figger it will be 3x day for 8 days). Already after the first day I'm chugging every couple of hours to the john. I've taken some immodium and acidophilus (pearls) but it's only day two and I feel like I've been reamed, steamed and dry cleaned! Is this a typical reaction for distals? (me) Any suggestions are welcome. (I thought of calling the dentist tomorrow and asking for something else, but thought I'd better have 'something else' in mind before I ask!) Thanks in advance for any help! Oh, and to stay ON topic--how 'bout that chocolate proscore 100! Ain't it grand!!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Sue, In my experience, that's a typical reaction to many antibiotics. You're on the right track with the acidophilus... hydrate and keep taking that. The medicine kills the bad bugs (if you're lucky) but nukes the good ones too. Acidophilus helps the good ones come back. My OT comment is that I finally discovered that Sci-Fit strawberry CAN be diluted too much for my taste. I forgot that second scoop (2/3 scoop really) this morning, and drank my strawberry water on the way to work. Not a taste thrill, but bearable.
