Hi,
I was wondering if you could help me.
I had a procedure done on July 25th, and they gave me one dose of Clindamycin.
4 days later, I started with really bad diarrhea, cramping and abdominal pain. Some of my kids developed diarrhea,too, so I just assumed it was a virus.
However, it's been a week, and I still have loose, non-formed stools, usually about 3 times/day.
It does not have blood and only had a tiny bit of mucous a couple of times,but for the most part, it's just very loose stool?
Ihave an appetite, am not losing weight, and for the most part, feel ok, except when I have to go. I get a really bad stomach ache, pain in my lower abd, urge to go, and then I go, but it takes a while for the urge to go away.
Could this be from that one dose of Clindamycin?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm calling my doctor on Monday, but I was just wondering if there was anything that I could do( have been eating bananas,rice, broth), to get me through the weekend?
Thanks in advance,
J

Hey J,

The doctor told me to take acidophilus,is that what you meant by probiotics?
Do they really work?
Thanks again,
