Question Posted Saturday February 6 2010, 10:51 am
I've had diarrhea on and off for a few weeks now, I know that's a sign for medical attention, but I can't right now. It started right after I finished an antibiodic a Z-pac, and I had a yeast infection they gave me a pill for that too. I don't know if I'm lacking some bacteria that I need in my digestive track or something. I've eaten yogurt in the morning, I've taken the anti-diarrhea pills. Nothing is really helping, does anyone know anything else I can try that would probably help??
I've been drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated too.
Additional info, added Saturday February 6 2010, 3:14 pm: Oh and I was also using gel metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis .. and I read that can also cause diarrhea as a side effect.. and could also be a sign of a new infection?
I most likely will end up scheduling an appointment, but I'm a college student .. and on my parents insurance and it just gets complicated. Regardless, thanks for any help/suggestions....

are you eating alot of vagetables and fruits because that can also cause diarrhea as well as herbal teas like chamomile and green tea...
to stop the diarrhea you can eat more bread and drink red tea (the nnormal kind of tea.if its on and off then i wouldnt be too worried just yet.id be worried if youd need to go to the bathroom everyday more than once for it.sounds to me youv been eating all the healthy foods which can diarrhea because theyr high in vitamins and minerals and help flush your system out of any infections.
i hope this helps just aim on eating foods that will abosord any liquids in your body and try no to eat liquid foods...water might be one of the causes your getting diarrhea aswell.give your body a rest and aim to drink tea without sugar as well as breads and sandwiches and pasta etc [ sia's advice column | Ask sia A Question ]
