About 1 year ago I as given Omnicef for a bacterial infection. After 3 days of tumultuous diarrhea, I finally stopped this drug but not soon enough. Ever since then, I have had stomach problems. It first started out as irregular and often BM’s, and then progressed to
A constant gnawing or burning between my breastbone and navel in addition to erratic BM’s and gas, bloating, and just an overall lousy feeling within the digestive system. Now lately, I have burning in my throat almost continuously with morning after waking the worst. My diet is very good. I am 5’10” and 152 Lbs. Never been overweight and never ate a high fat diet. I had an upper endoscopy, (with biopsy’s and cultures all normal) colonoscopy, Upper GI barium series, stool culture tests, & blood tests. All are normal. Except during the endoscopy, the Dr. said he saw some gastritis so he gave me Nexium. It felt better for a while but then it always came back. I have tried Prilosec, Acifex, protinics, Pepsid ac , & tagament. All with limited success. My GI doctor says I should calm down because stress can cause these problems. While I have a very busy career, I have a good family life and solid business. I am not overstressed with any serious issues and this problem only started after the omnicef so I think he is all wet about this issue. While I know stress can “contribute” to a GI problem, in my case it does not cause it.
Since this problem, I only drink water; no soda, coffee, tea fruit juices etc. I noticed the other day that my urine is very yellow and smells so I did some research and found out that excess Bile can cause this. I am thinking that since taking the omnicef that maybe
Something in my system (gall bladder or ducts) were damaged by the omnicef and now I have too much bile production in the digestive tract or stomach which my be causing this problem. We all talk about acid reflux but not bile reflux which I read can also be a problem. Can anyone shed and insight as to what may be going on &/or possible solutions to this problem. Thank you
