I seriously have to pee a lot. Is this a side effect from the abx? Even on days where I'm not good about drinking water, I still pee a ton!

Anyone else?

Same here...long b4 i was diagnosed. I think dr. Horowitz wrote in his book its because of inflammation of the vagus nerve( it innervates the bladder), but im not sure, s/t inside me says i dont think that why for me.

Peeing a lot are sx of diabetes and adrenal fatigue… I also peed a lot when my intestines were really inflamed once upon a time—it's like the nerve was being pressed upon. Strange sx, right?

It really is strange. It only started when I began abx.

I'd ask your doctor about this. It may be a side-effect of one or more of your meds, and they do need to check you for Diabetes (both the sugar kind and the ADH kind).

I do know antibiotics are known to cause water retention...

Are you taking any herbs or supplements?

As you kill more pathogens, your GFR goes up. It just an increased immune response. You do need to rule out other disease as mentioned above. For me, it's an indication if a new herb or medication is killing pathogens.

A lot of herbs/teas are also diuretics. I had a bit of a 'touchy' bladder when I was in treatment. Some days it felt like I had to go every 5 minutes and I ended up just ignoring it and other days I would be fine. As long as your CMP and blood tests are all checking out I would just say it is one of those nagging things that will go away in time hopefully.
