Suggest Treatment For Stomach Bloating And Indigestion While On Antibiotics
Question: Hello Doctor,
I am XXXX, going to be of 37yrs in Oct. I have Asthma (major problem allergy from Dust n Pollution) since i was 17, due to which i have to take Antibiotics almost 3-4 times a year for almost 1 month everytime. I have switched to homeopathy since last 7 months whereas i am not seeing yet much benefit but hoping for in future. (had to take antibiotics for 2 months almost from feb end to mid April)
Due to these medications my stomach is generally upset (constipation, indigestion, bloating, tightness to extreme level that someone might think i am 8 months pregnent). I take probiotics (VSL3, Bifilac, Vizylac) along with antibiotics or sometimes just to rectify my stomach problems to some extend. And i take some times Pankreoflat and Espumisan Gold. Pantosec D is now less frequent after homeopathic medications and leaving tea completelly.
And such stomach condition does not allow me to reduce weight (75kgs as on date with 5'2" height which is 20 kg extra). I have reduced to 60kg 6 times with so much efforts but as soon as i take antibiotics and all the weight comes back again.
Please suggest what to do!

Brief Answer:
Go for GI Friendly antibiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in
It is sad you have to take antibiotics for one third of a year and that too one month at a stretch
We prefer giving antibiotics for 10 and XXXXXXX 14 days
I would suggest you manage your asthama and reduce the need for antibiotics, meet an allergy specialist he will conduct some blood and intradermal tests and will get an allergen specific serum prepared for you
Also increase your immunity by taking Regulat BComplex and Vit C
When ever needed ask your doctor to give you GI friendly antibiotics and continue probiotics during the treatment period
Hope this helps
