unfortunately that's one of the "not-so-fun" side effects of antibiotics that some people get. Cipro is a very powerful antibiotic and probably not the best choice for a UTI. Antibiotics kill not only bad bacteria, but the good as well which can cause problems with digestion. The biggest thing is to stay hydrated! I prefer Gatorade.. and soup is always good. Something that may help is yogurt, or to take an acidopholus (sp?) supplement. These help restore the healthy bacteria. If it's NOT the antibiotics and it is a virus instead, it still helps and you will just have to wait it out. Good luck, hope you feel better!

Hi Worrybucket,
I am posting with you on the "Cold and Flu" Board but I think that I can help you with this one.

Cipro is a good anti for UTI. It goes directly to the bladder to fight the infection.

However, I usually don't have a bad reaction to it but the last time I took it, I had the same reaction that you are having.

It took about 3 weeks to clear and I was not happy. I started to eat Yogurt with live bacteria and stayed on a bland diet for a week or so. Drank lots of water also.

After a week, I started to eat some fiber in the form of oatmeal. Any fiber will help form things up and you should be as good as new.

I am doing fine in that area now.

Hope this helps.

That Cipro stuff is crap! Its Toxic. Same thing happened to me. Health went
down hill after taking
