What's the best solution for amoxicillin-induced diarrhea?

Patient's Query

Hi my name is Rachael Clarke and I recently have been seen for an ear infection and I'm in amoxicillin and it's giving me really bad diarrhea I wanted to know what you recommend

Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

It's common for amoxicillin to cause gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea due to changes in gut bacteria. Staying hydrated is essential; consider drinking water or clear fluids. You might also try consuming probiotics, found in yogurt or supplements, which can help restore balance in your digestive system. If diarrhea persists or worsens, please reach out to your gastroenterologist for further evaluation. They may suggest alternative medications or additional treatments.

I am Piyush and have liver pain and gastric problem with digestion issues last 6 month but gastric problem is last 5 year so I an taking pantop dsr too long time but now done my liver Kidney Function Test so please see my report and suggest medicine urgent basis

Male | 36

The liver function test is necessary for your treatment and you will know what might be wrong. Your stomach problem’s pain could be related to the liver as well. However, just Pantop DSR may not be sufficient for you. In this regard, you need to correct your diet by not eating oil or fat. If present, your doctor may approve additional tests or variants of medications that treat both the liver and the stomach.

I have ast/alt ratio of 1.77 but the time my blood was examined I was drunken much. Can you guide me its still same even I am drunk or not. It was ast 339 and alt 191. Kindly help

Male | 43

The report based on an AST/ALT ratio test result shows a liver enzyme ratio of 1.77 units which is slightly higher than normal and indicates the presence of possible factors e.g. liver damage, drinking alcohol, taking certain drugs. Elevated AST and ALT levels may alert the liver damage. You can ascertain the precise state of your liver by retesting your blood after you get sober and getting the necessary advice from a hepatologist.

Male | 22

Experiencing involuntary loss of stool or urine can be concerning. Various factors may contribute, such as stress, dietary choices, or even anxiety. It's important to assess your habits, including fluid intake and any recent lifestyle changes. Practicing regular bathroom routines and pelvic floor exercises may help strengthen control. However, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can offer personalized guidance and ensure there are no underlying issues.

online Doctor Dashboard / My Health Queries / Query Thread Query Thread Answered Your Query8 hours ago Consulted for: Mr.HARSHA K N (Myself) , Age: 22, Gender: Male Hello, I am Harsha K N In december 14th 2023, I got admitted for frequent bowel movements with mucus for whole night. I got colonoscopy done on 15th dec in which they indicated it as "Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis" and they had suggested mesacol OD and SR fil enema . In the 3rd follow up on 21st march 2024, they did a sigmoidoscopy and there it was said as "ulcers in rectosigmoid are 75% healed and in rectum it has healed completely, and also in the indication they have mentioned as "healing SRUS". So i got a bit confused about my condtion that it is' ulcerative colitis' or 'SRUS'. And also it would be helpful if got an explanation of difference between UC and SRUS because i could not be able to find out.

Male | 22

UC and SRUS have some things that are the same, but they are a bit different. UC impacts your big intestine, making it red and sore. You may get loose poop, belly pain, and blood in your poop. SRUS often causes bleeding from your rear end, gooey discharge, and trouble controlling your poop. Meds that reduce redness help with UC, while SRUS may need food with lots of fiber and poop softeners.

Experiencing persistent thin stools for several months can be concerning. This issue may arise from various factors, including dietary changes, stress, or gastrointestinal conditions. It’s essential to pay attention to any additional symptoms such as pain, weight loss, or changes in appetite. Incorporating a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, and managing stress can be beneficial. However, due to the duration of your symptoms, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.

Overeating can cause your stomach to feel uncomfortable, which is called indigestion. Some of these symptoms can be caused by eating fatty foods like burgers and fries, as well as drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. To feel better, if you want drink water, eat light foods, and rest.

Female | 28

Thrombosed piles, especially at an advanced stage, can cause significant discomfort, including pain, swelling, and bleeding. While lifestyle changes such as a high-fiber diet, increased fluid intake, and regular exercise may alleviate mild symptoms, they might not fully resolve advanced cases. Over-the-counter treatments can offer temporary relief, but it’s essential to approach this condition under a doctor’s guidance. A gastroenterologist can assess your situation thoroughly and discuss the most effective options, which may include non-surgical interventions.

Female | 24

Acid reflux might cause your chest pain. A lump-in-throat sensation, bloating, and diarrhea after meals are signs. Stomach acid flows back up the food pipe. Smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods help. Don't lie down after eating. Drink lots of water too. This condition is when stomach acid flows up. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem continues.

I had my gallbladder removed last November, so I’m wondering if it’s safe to eat tacos, even though before I had my gallbladder removed I was told I was turning diabetic

Female | 38

Eating tacos after gallbladder removal can be safe, but it’s important to choose options wisely. High-fat ingredients may lead to digestive discomfort, as your body adapts to changes in fat processing. It’s advisable to opt for lean proteins and plenty of vegetables, while enjoying fewer rich sauces. Monitoring your blood sugar levels is key, especially with a history of glucose sensitivity. Should you experience any concerning symptoms, such as abdominal pain or unusual changes in digestion, please consult your gastroenterologist for personalized guidance. Their expertise will help ensure you maintain a balanced and healthy diet.

Stomach ache, fever, cold nose, as well as fatigue, are some of the symptoms that suggest you may be harboring an infection. Your body might be combating some of the bacteria that have infected you. Resting, consuming fluids, and taking medications that bring down the fever will help you. If the condition persists, then you should consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.

You're suffering from a long-term stomach ache that no medicine is helping. The pain could be attributed to many things such as the ulcer of the stomach or acid reflux. To begin, consume smaller amounts of food, steer clear of spicy foods, and remain upright after meals. If the pain persists, it is essential to consult a gastroenterologist for additional tests and medication.

I am a 21 year old male around 5'4 with around 60kgs weight. I feel as if this weight is too little and I want to add more. I try on numerous occasions to eat more and diet better albeit I do a bit of drinking over the weekends. Though I have tried adding weight, only my stomach seems to get larger whilst my other body parts are not commensurate to this gain. Yesterday I went out and took a drink that has 40% alcohol. Since then my stomach hasn't stopped growling no matter how much I eat, and I have watery diarrhea. What is the problem?

Male | 21

It sounds like your recent experiences with alcohol have led to digestive issues, such as a growling stomach and diarrhea. Alcohol can irritate your digestive system and disrupt your body's ability to absorb nutrients, which may explain your difficulty gaining weight. To support your health, consider reducing alcohol intake and focusing on balanced meals that include protein, healthy fats, and whole grains. Staying hydrated is also essential. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek guidance from a gastroenterologist to ensure there are no underlying concerns. Your well-being is paramount, and a doctor can provide tailored advice and support.

Male | 32

You could be having some digestive problems. When you don’t feel like eating and your mouth waters more than usual as well as feeling that you have phlegm in your throat; it might mean that there is heartburn or indigestion. These conditions can cause discomfort when one eats food. To relieve the symptoms, attempt to eat small but frequent meals throughout the day; avoid spicy or greasy foods, and ensure that your body remains hydrated at all times. If these signs persist then seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis as well as treatment options.
