Nasty thunderstorms

I seriously think it's all the medicine in me. But yeah, I'm farting like crazy.

Heavy antibiotics can really mess up your digestion for sure. While it's killing the Pneumonia, it's also killing your intestinal bacteria you need.

When you need to take antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection, the last thing you want to do is add more symptoms into the mix.

Yet many people suffer from an upset stomach when taking antibiotics. Diarrhea is a common concern. So are abdominal cramping and gas. In the worst cases, long-term antibiotic use can even lead to C. diff, a severe infection that causes colitis, or inflammation in your colon.

“The problem is that when you are trying to kill bacteria in your sinuses, lungs, or elsewhere, antibiotics also kill bacteria that live in your intestine that keep your digestive health in balance,” says family medicine physician Michael Rabovsky, MD.

These side effects are one of many reasons experts caution against overusing antibiotics. But when you truly do need to take them to fight an infection, you can also take steps to prevent or minimize diarrhea and other stomach problems.
