Brief Answer:
Both Zydelig and antibiotics are to blame

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

1. Some of side effects of taking Zydelig include gastrointestinal such as nausea, abdominal cramps/discomfort, etc.


2. Antibiotics you take to prevent pneumonia can also alter intestinal flora giving the GI problems as you are having now.

Both Zydelig and antibiotics you take are to blame. I advise to:
- report these problems to your caring doctor
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- increase fluids intake
- take Anti-Spasmodics like spasmex or buscopan for the cramps
- take antacids for the discomfort

Hope it helped. Good luck.
