I was sick three months ago, and had small bead-like smelly pus pockets coming out of my throat, I then got the flu and was prescribed cipro after two weeks of not getting better, now I find that since the antibiotic, I have had bloating, and it seems that no matter what I ate, I would need to burp, and it could be hours after I ate, and as soon as I burped, I could taste what I ate hours earlier. I have been eating Activia, and it helps slightly; but I am constantly needing to burp to relieve my bloated stomach. I am a 26 year old male, I exercise every other day. I do not have daily bowel movements, but when I do expel, it could either be runny some days, and hard to go the next time. I don t know what else I could do to try to alleviate my bloating.
