Recently when I had a sinus infection and was taking broad spectrum antibiotics, I had no diarrhea whatsoever, in fact I was constipated (just like I always had been my whole life). I then found I could eat anything - although I did not try my luck with gluten foods. But I ate sweets, potatoes, coleslaw, fresh fruit, gluten free candy, chocolate, decafinated coffee - with no problems. But once the antibiotics wore off - I was back to where I started months ago - diarrhea - food intolerances, etc.
My colonoscopy did come back clear as did an endoscopy but I am still plagued with these problems. I even take probiotics which really do not seem to work either.
I have tried keeping a food diary - but even those foods that I sometimes can tolerate, at other times, I can not. My food choices are very limited.
What I do not understand is why, when taking a broad spectrum antibiotic (Amoxcillin, 500 mg. 3x daily) for 2 weeks seemed to make me symptomless but once they stopped, the illness returned.
Any ideas of what this may be indicative?
I am going back to the doctor this Friday and am hoping for some answers - but I have already heard how so many people have symptoms with no real diagnosis.
