What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Nausea While On Metamucil For Bladder Inflammation?
I ve been at the hospital twice now. They said I had inflammation on my bladder but now I take meds which is Metronidazole 500mg and sandoz-ciprofloxacin 500mg and now my bladder is full. The hospital told me to take metamucil but I m very bloaded just like I was 5 months pregnant, lightheaded,nauseated and I sometimes vomit. Should I still take the meds with metamucil. I really have to get better asap. I also drink a lot of water. Please help me to feel better. Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The metamucil might worsen the bloating if used right now unless you have constipation and are trying to increase your fiber intake.
You may want to consider one of the medications normally used for reflux. These sometimes help with bloating eg pepcid, zantac, nexium, prilosec, prevacid.
Avoid foods that may aggravate bloating is also important eg carbonated drinks, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brusel sprouts, beans
I hope this helps
