Hi,
I just started taking minocycline and waited a week to start Biaxin. I started taking both 2 times a day for about 2 weeks now. After every time I eat I feel very bloated and uncomfortable to the point where I feel like my stomach could pop. I have tried taking Gas-X and it does not do much at all. I have been also taking probiotics. Is there anything else that can help with this? I have a very uncomfortable feeling all day and hoping to get rid of it!

Hi Britni - sorry you've got this going on! I'm wondering if you might have a yeast issue. Are you taking anything for yeast? (Nystatin?)

What is your diet like?

I was thinking it could be that so I started taking a yeast probiotic. I never heard of Nystatin, but I will look into it!!

My diet has been a lot of fruits and veggies and leafy greens. I do need to cut out some sugars and carbs though!

Many people develop yeast issues when taking abx....or abx exacerbate an underlying condition.

I don't know why all LLMD's don't Rx Nystatin at the same time they Rx abx.

My LLMD was surprised when I requested Nystatin but understood that I'd rather not be chasing the horse after he gets out of the barn (or whatever that saying is lol).

Nystatin is a very safe med - no side effects except whatever might be related to yeast die-off.

Without a doubt, sugar and carbs are not a good idea when dealing with yeast.

Hope you feel better soon!
