Hi about
a week ago I was having severe cramping on my lower left side several times a day. It was not gas. I have UC. I called my GI and he was concerned that I had been on Antiboitics twice in the last few months so he ordered a c - diff test, but started me on Flagly anyways because of the new symptons. I was not having diareah then. I started the Flagyl on Tuesday night. The test came back negative, but the GI said to continue treatment since there are a lot of false negatives. The cramping stopped but starting on Friday i have diareah. How soon should I start feeling better. I have a ten day prescript
ion. Today I have gone about
5 times so far , not really diarreah but not formed at all, very soft. Is this normal for Flagyl or should I call my GI. I am happy the cramping has stopped but am not so happy about
the diarreah.
fyi I also upped my vsl #3 from 1/2 packet per day to 2 per dr. orders. could that be causing the diarreah?
I had major diarreah 2 weeks prior to calling the dr. so that is why he ordered the c- diff test in the first place.
