Done Biopsy, Colonoscopy And Endoscopy Due To Bile Vomiting, Showing Inflammation. Is It Result Of Sinus Infection Medication?

Bile vomitting from past 1.5 months quite often. On Nov 01 2013 colonoscopy and endoscopy done. Colonoscopy is quite normal. Biopsy followed by Endoscopy results some inflammation that might have been caused by 4-5 months of antibiotics for my sinus infection.
Doctor prescribed: Omeprazole+sodium carbonate - daiy one at night.
sucralfate tablets daily 4 -- each 1 hr before meal.
XIFAXAN (RIFAXIMIN)- 550 MG - DAILY 2.
Could you please give us online consultation as I am quite resistant to take the above antibiotic medicine.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
I don thtink it is reasonable to take an yantibiotics for 5 months. even 5 weeks is eay to loong and this could definitely be cause of your colitis. you should stop with medicines for some time and see will your condition improve. You should eat easier food and drink plenty of fluids till symptoms subside.YOu should continue with omeprasole.
Wish you good health. Regards
