Antibiotics increase pains?

I noticed that the last two times I was on antibiotics my IBS pain was more intense than usual. The pains would only ease up once I was half way through a probiotic treatment.

Has anyone else noticed that their IBS pains increased while on antibiotics?

  1. Great question for the community! Appreciate your comments and great additions to the conversation. Have you seen this article yet on IBW and Antibiotics: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/antibiotics. Hope that's helpful to you. Best, Kelly, Irritablebowelsyndrome.net Team Member


    1. Aww thanks. I had not seen that story, thank you for linking it.


      I know the gut bacteria got destroyed cause it was a 10 day long course and a heavy one. I can't wait to pick up probiotics to start taking again. I found a really good one last time that is for people with IBS.
