Hi everyone
I took a 7 day course of clarithromycin antibiotic for a sinus infection. I finished the course 5 days ago and my tummy is not right. Cramps, bloating slight nausea.. soft stool but not liquid at all. I thought it was a normal reaction to antibiotics but I stupidly googled and now am terrified of having cdiff.
Help

It is a normal reaction to antibiotics. Whenever I take them I take a probiotic too it helps ease the stomach symptoms.

Hi I've been on a lot of antibiotics lately & worried about this. The best probiotic to take to prevent c diff is saccharides boullardii. Maybe research it first but I think it helps to prevent this as it's more of a yeast so the antibiotics don't kill it.
