Ibs and taking antibiotics for Uti as well as mebererine 3 times a day .Does this make diarrhoea

[QFDBK123]

Change mebererine into alverine

[Cupcak in reply to QFDBK123]

Ahhh okay my Dr has only prescribed me the mebervine unfortunately .To be honest I am not sure they are really working .

[QFDBK123 in reply to Cupcak]

Trust me alverine works with almost no side effects.

Antibiotics can cause diarrhoea so it might get better once you finish your dose

Thank you I hope so .

I had to take antibiotics about a month ago and I'm still experiencing the side effects 😟 my understanding is the antibiotics kill the good as well as the bed bacteria so for us IBS suffers then it can cause diarrhea or constipation.

[Cupcak in reply to Grateful71]

That's the trouble taking them. What a nightmare it is one thing after another .

Taking antibiotics can upset the balance of good bacteria in your gut since antibiotics can kill off good bugs too. This means that bad bugs in the gut may come to the fore which can cause antibiotic associated diarrhea. Anyone taking antibiotics can help guard themselves against this type of diarrhea by taking Saccharomyces Boulardii which is a beneficial yeast at the same time as the antibiotic and for 2 weeks to a month afterwards. If you take probiotics whilst taking antibiotics, the probiotics are likely to be killed off by the antibiotics since they are also (good) bacteria. Since Saccharomyces Boulardii is a beneficial yeast, it will help protect your good bugs, but it won't be affected by the antibiotics so can be taken at the same time. If you start to become constipated on Saccharomyces Boulardii, this suggests that it has or is doing its job and it might be possible to come off of them. Once you are no longer on antibiotics, you could take a good probiotic for a month or so too, just to help bring things back in balance. There are clinical studies that Saccharomyces Boulardii reduces the chances of antibiotic associated diarrhea and I do find it annoying that doctors are unable to prescribe this at the same time as antibiotics. It could also help guard against people getting IBS in the first place, since in some people, IBS is initially triggered by taking antibiotics and ending up with a gut bacterial imbalance as a result.

Alverine can cause some ibs. It’s normally ok with most people but can mess up the stools a bit. I’d take it as and when you feel spasms or tightness etc. You must also consider this drug can effect acid reflux because it relaxes the mussel that prevents the stomach acid coming back up. Like after you bend over of lying in bed etc.
