How To Treat UTI With Painful Bloating While On Cipro?
I was diagnosed 4 days ago with a uti. The next day, I started getting sharp pains in my tummy and under my ribs. They gave me iv's and sent me home the next day. I did take gas x and medicine for a bowl movement. I do feel somewhat better. I still have painful bloating type feeling in my tummy. It hurts to stand. Is there anything I can take to help. The dr. Prescribed Cipro.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You are having typical signs of acute gastritis which is common when on strong medications like antibiotics. Your UTI has to be treated effectively and so you cannot discontinue the antibiotics, instead you can take Cap Omez 20 mg before food for the number of days you are talking antibiotics. Take a fluid diet and drink at least 3 -4 liters of water per day.
Thanks.
