Gastrointestinal problems?For years I've had IBS, usually bouts of a few weeks and then subsides, so the doc assumes anything going on down there is IBS and suggests over the counter meds. However, over the last few weeks I've had a real problems with my guts. Huge amounts of gas. Noisy guts. Foul smelling, loose stools (not diarrhea as such, just soft/loose). Nausea (queasy rather than needing to throw up). Dizzyness. Dull pain in the abdomen.
As the doc won't do anything and I'm so uncomfortable, I'm thinking of some antibiotics from other sources just to try and kill anything off that might be lurking in my guts. Now, I don't believe in antibiotics unless they are absolutely necessary - it's been years since I last had any. But I'm so fed up that I'm willing to give it a go.
Any suggestions on:
(a) what it could be (it seems more than just IBS)
(b) whether antibiotics could help
(c) which antivbiotic and what dosage (I'll double check this myself)
Thanks

you need to see a gastroenterologist. i doubt you,re going to find a cure on this site. antibiotics do work; but need to be used for specific purposes.

Liquid chlorophyll every day can help IBS.
How alarmed should I be about gastrointestinal problems if I take an NSAID?
NSAID stands for non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs. These are anti-inflammatory medicines, medicines which decrease inflammation. They are typically used to treat pain, arthritis, and are commonly taken for either the short term or the long term. Most NSAIDs have stomach side effects because they decrease your body's natural protection against acid in the gastrointestinal tract.
