since the time I took antibiotics four years back I am having stomach issues what to do
hello welcome to icliniq I have reviewed your concern after taking antibiotics your gut bacterial composition has been changed and it has started to cause troubles for you weight gain is also seen in such cases since you have tried a lot of things and finally viberzi showing some results for you I am happy things have finally got some control for your concern regarding relatively rapid weight gain and metabolic shift is genuine I would say you are a good observant what further helps you to restore your gut bacterial composition is to opt for natural selection like food changes you have to avoid junk and bakery products as much as possible take lot of yoghurt natural probiotic and fruits increase use of vegetables avoid alcohol if you are taking continue exercise or at lease try to remain active collectively this will change the story you will feel better but definitely process is slow and it will take time so you have to exercise patience I hope you will find it super helpful give your feedback let us know after a week how you feel if we could do further for you we will definitely do but it depends how you take the things from here humble regards
i have been having stomach issues for almost years now when I was put on two rounds of back to back antibiotics for a bad tooth abscess I was put on augmenting and then clindamycin along with the use of motrin and tylenol as directed by my dentist since then I have had stomach issues including going to the bathroom more often feeling pressure when having to go to the bathroom occasional mucus in stool and more recently bouts of nausea bloating cramping and very smelly gas I have had various blood panels tried probiotics including vsl rifaximin diet changes and I am currently on viberzi which helped but made me a bit constipated tired bloated so I lowered the dosage to pill 100mg per day instead of which decreased side effects but also decreased effectiveness of the drug also it seems my metabolism has shifted after the antibiotics and I gained weight faster than I ever have and I am still struggling to keep my weight down after making significant diet and lifestyle changes any insight here into the weight gain and then anything else I could try for the stomach symptoms thank you
