Can Vancomycin Help With Intestinal Issues?

I recently was trying to lose weight, so I took Lipozene & Garcino but I think I also caused some intestional problem. I do have stomach issues, on a regular basis I take Protonix 80 mg 1 time a day & Reglan 10mg 4 times a day. So I was wondering if the Vancomycin might help with Intestional issues I having now. After meals I become nausea & am running a low grade fever. I lalso have a some bump under my tongue.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation, You seems to have suffered from-GERD with H.Pylori infection.In the given scenario, dirrhoea induced with lipogene and Garcino, needs to be treated besides H.Pylori infection, unless tests are positive for H.Pylori-by UBT(Urea Breath test),Stool Antigen test.
Hence Vancomycin-which is proved to be noneffective in H.Pylori, should be avoided.Instead Combination of LAC-Lansoprazole +Amoxycillin+Clarythromycin and if needed with metronidazole for 7-14 days would take care of H.Pylor flare up with other food induced infection.
Loaratidine- to control food induced bumps under toungue, would resolve the health issues you have.
Hence its suggested that it is advised not to use Vancomycin in given scenario.
