Had to be on Cipro (one they treat for Anthrax) for 7 days, for bladder infection and thought I would be dead by day 7. Told doc NEVER to put me on it again. I thought the pain and belly swelling may be from infection and asked (after 2 days) if this was normal and nurse said it may be worse before you get better. Okay, so sucked it up for the weekend, and by Tuesday (last dose) I was swollen as a 6 mos pregnancy, chills/fever, cramps, pain and not usual bm. Within a few days thereafter, daily D, pain at night, continued swelling and discomfort. I read that this antibioitic can cause D for up to 2 mos after dose. Quite uncomfortable and hoping this will not trigger the Crohns return.
I started back on probiotics, increased Vit D dose and wondering what else may help ease this. Anyone else had similar experience?
