Urinary tract infections

Hi! I’ve gotten sone relief since my Dr called in dicyclomine but I had such bad diarrhea last week one day (stress induced) that I got dehydrated and the next thing I knew, I had a urinary tract infection. On my second round of antibiotics. Is this common? Any advice?

  1. I'm so sorry you're dealing with that and have to take antibiotics again. There can be a connection between IBS and bladder problems, we have an article about it here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/clinical/bladder-problems. However, I'm not sure if there's a link between just a normal UTI and IBS. I know people who get those very often, but they don't have IBS... Has this happened to you before, or is it just this one time?
    I hope it'll just pass quickly and you won't get it again.
    Wishing you all the best, Karina (team member)
