It's this sort of thing that needs to be sorted out by a committee - see if they will pass a motion...

Does that mean when you tackle a wrongdoer to the ground Krazylady you can knock them out with your stools?

Amoxycilin (sp?) has this effect on me too and it makes me nauseous. Thankfully, I don't have to take it too often *sighs with relief*

Hi

Yes - just double checked with our nurse Muriel - antibiotics can affect bowel movements - Diarrhoea etc.

Best

From personal experience, don't take anti-biotics with orange juice...

[caroleoctober]

To counteract the effects of antibiotics, which are killing off the good bacteria in your gut as well as the bad in your lungs,and are causing the upset. I have one Actimel a day which replaces the good bacteria on the advice of my respitary nurse.

So agree with Caroleoctober. I always take probiotics when on a course of antbiotics, obviously not at the same time. It would depend on how severe the old runs are of course - you may want to see your GP if it's very bad.
