This is a shot in the dark, but I had taken antibiotics to treat an infection twice last fall, then suddenly this summer have been having unexplainable (so far) stomach issues. Given the somewhat longer period after taking the antibiotics, is the length of time somewhat similar to yours?
- sparkie 6y agoYeah, it could be similar. (Can't remember clearly first time as it was 10 years ago now). Second time my stomach complaint got really bad, my doc assumed it was gastroenteritis and prescribed me more antibiotics. They were useless, and he figured it might be IBD a few weeks later and prescribed me some steroids (Prednisolone). The dose of steroids prescribed was useless as I already had severe symptoms by then, so I ended up hospitalized and pumped with a high dose of Hydrocortisone. If it were a few days later I probably would've been dead. For a few months before my guts were bad, I was having pains in my chest (around the bottom of the ribcage). The doctor thought it was gallstones, but a UV scan came back negative. The pains in the lower part of the colon came afterwards, along with the diarrhoea.
