Due to some infection problems, in the last month I have had a large amount of antibiotics. Three days on IV broad spectrum amoxycillin and metronidazole, then two seperate 5 days courses of amoxyclav. Plus topical clyndamycin and antifungal cream for the, ahem, side effects of the antibiotics.
I have also had a seven day course of oral nystatin drops and two "single dose" flucanozole oral pills for further anti fungals.
My tummy and intestines copped a beating from it all and are really tender. I'm a bit exhausted and tired and wondering whether i need to do a serious gut repair diet or just give it more time to feel better. It hurts to poke my lower abdomen. The first few weeks I had loose BM but the last two weeks they are been solid, but like seven times a day... so much poop.
I haven't taken a lot of probiotics, just twice a week i take a primal flora, as I'm wary of them these days, especially since I'm hoping now my small intestine will be quite sterile... I tried to eat plenty of carrots and drank a lot of mineral water whilst i was on all these as well to clean it all out.
I think I should be eating slow cooked meats off the bone, warm milk and stewed fruit for a while? I'm tired and can't figure out a plan, so any advice would be great.
(ps tests show no infections left... yay)
