Hi I have recently had a Zoledronic acid infusion and straight after developed ibs symptoms of pain bloating distended stomach and constipation. It has been less than a week but just wondering if anyone has had this experience and how long it took to resolve?I thought the infusion bypassed the stomach. Thanks

I have zolendronic infusions once every two years , and also have ibs symptoms. Never thought about the two being connected !

It would explain a lot!!

Thanks for the reply. How long did it take for your ibs symptoms to resolve after the infusion?

Hi I have Zolendronic infusion every 6 months and have side effects including bursts of AF, usually lasting 6 hours. I take a flecainide and nebivalol. It's usually during the night. It gets better the week or so later. Best wishes

I get ibs symptoms 2 or 3 times a week all the time as I did before treatment started.

Thanks for your reply. So the infusion didnt make it worse? My ibs has been settled for a while until this infusion.

I think it's more likely connected to exermestine, the hormone tablet I have

So the infusion didnt cause constipation for you? The alendrolic acid tablets caused constipation for me and the infusion has done as well

looked up what that does. It’s related to bone.

Maybe try some extra calcium and supplement a lot of magnesium and vitamin D

Thanks for your reply. Calcium causes more constipation for me. I'm taking laxitives and waiting for the effects to wear off.

calcium needs magnesium , moron, vitamin D, k2 to work. High dose of any supplement a lot just sits there or excretes
