Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea While On Doxycycline Hyclate
Question: After taking Doxyclline Hyclate 100mg - too much stomach distress - then my doctor put me oncefuroxime axeyil 500 mg tab - could tolerate this much better. However, I became very constipated and even with the probiotics had a problem. Ate a lot of fruit and last night got diarrhea - after that I have been bleeding from the rectum very watery stools. Could I have torn something in there?
Brief Answer:
Do you have pain when defecating?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this watery stool. The excess fluids and must have provoked the diarrhea. I advise you cut back on this.
I am convinced you might have torn part of the tissue around the anus. This is often accompanied with pain. If the bleeding is minimal as of now, observe only as it will stop spontaneously.
Moving forward, drink much water and increase vegetable, fiber and fruits intake to avoid further constipation after this diarrhea must have stopped.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

I have mild stomach cramps - don't know what to eat as to stop this
Brief Answer:
Take omperazole!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Doxycycline causes stomach irritation. This is the probable cause of your abdominal pain. I recommend omeprazole: 20mg daily. Omeprazole is available over the counter in most stores such as wlamart, CVS, walgreens, target, etc.
I wish you well and update me on how you are feeling!
