Medical Forum / General / General / January 2006What Can I do to Avoid Diarrhea When Taking Antibotics
About ten days ago I injured my ankle. It becmae infected and I went to a drop in clinic where the wound was cleaned and I was told to keep it clean and use Neosporin on it. They prescribed amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium tablets 2 daily X10 days. After 36 hours I developed a case of terrible diarrhea. I d/c taking the meds and returned to the clinic where they prescribed tequin 400mg a day. They told me to eat a meal, take acidophilus (which I do anyway) and eat yogurt which should stop diarrhea from developing. I haven't taken the tequin yet. I really don't want to have diarrhea for the next ten days or so. Anything else I can doo to avoid the trots? Sam > About ten days ago I injured my ankle.

You informed your doctor of your .. aftereffects .. and he changed your prescription .. It is quite common for someone to respond likewise to one prescription antibiotic and NOT respond the same to another .. Who loves ya.

Anything > else I can doo to avoid the trots? Pepto-Bismol is very effective against diarrhea; so is Immodium. A more natural solution might be psyllium (husks of Plantago psyllium), a kind of plant material that is usually powdered and contains a tremendous amount of indigestible, inert plant fiber. You can add this to a beverage and drink it once a day, and it will provide indigestible bulk that will help prevent diarrhea. Psyllium is often used in laxatives, but ironically it also works against diarrhea; in both cases, the large volume of fiber evens out the behavior of the GI tract and helps to prevent extremes like constipation and diarrhea. Best of all, it's not medication, so it's harmless and you can take it for as long as you wish (even on a permanent basis as a dietary supplement, if you don't get enough fiber in your diet).  SignatureTranspose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. acidophillus and the new antibotic worked. I'll try psyllium next. Like natural over chemical.
