Can Antibiotics For Urinary Infection Cause Stomach Pain?

Hi I had a full abdominal hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. I was ok till last Wednesday then became very achy, cloudy urine and generally feeling unwell. Meds put me on antibiotics on Saturday, possible urinary infection. Went back today as still feeling unwell plus I am getting severe pain in my stomach after eating ( same as the wind pains after surgery). Am now on more antibiotics. Could the antibiotics have caused the wind pains to become worse and should I take a probiotic? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms are as a result of side effects of antibiotics.

I would advise that you should take probiotics for relief along with an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals.
Antibiotics disrupt the normal flora of useful bacteria present in the intestines. These useful bacteria help in digestion and absorption of food.

The probiotics help to regain the lost flora.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
