What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bloating Along With Constipation?
I am having problems with yellowish brown colored stools I was put on 3 very strong antibiotics due to dental abscesses for a month and for about 2 weeks now I have had a yellowish colored stool and some constipation even some weight loss since being on the antibiotics. I have been taking a probiotic and eating yogurt like my doctor told me too but it s still,not getting better. I also have pain and swollen feeling in lower part of stomach and groin area since being on the antibiotics that comes and goes. I was having no problems at all until all of the antibiotics will I ever straighten out again?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of abdominal pain and bloating along with constipation . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli, appendicitis, crohn’s disease, gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infection. Sometimes excess acid production can also cause constipation. I would suggest you to drink warm water twice a day , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals , also eat lot of fibrous food .If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe ornidazole , omeprazole , laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids and laxative .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
