Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by filiplevaic: Can 3×600 mg(10 days in row) and fast food together damage intestine microflora and kills probiotics?
Hi!
I had acute gastritis in July 2007..and I was ok until April 2008.. Before that I went to McDonalds almost every day(period from February to April 2008) and I took this Ibuprofen for 10 days(3×600mg every day,for 10 days in row).. I think this combination of drugs and fast food damaged my microflora and killed good bacteria,and that is why I feel nausea in lower part of stomach..Hope my english fine

It does not appear that your intestinal flora has been disturbed,otherwise it would have resulted in loose motions.Ibuprofen is a non steroidal anti inflammatory – analgesic agent & is soft on stomach.You have taken the optimal dose and howsoever well tolerated drug it may be,it is bound to cause some gastric intolerance in such a high dose and irritate the gastric mucosa,specially if taken before meals.As a result you are feeling nausea as a side effect which will disappear with in a couple of days after stopping the therapy.Take curd or yogurt to implant the good bacteria.If feeling very uncomfortable,take one tab.of domperidone once a day for 2-3 days.Your english is fine and so is your stomach.

I’m on a week of penicillin for a tooth ache/infection and wondering should I eat yogurt now while on the antibiotics or wait and eat it after finishing meds? Will it be a waste to eat yougurt while still on the antibiotic because it will kill the good bacteria in the yogurt, or will it help anyway?
