Can antibiotics affect output - Monurol / Fosfomycin

Post by Fiona »

I'm into my 4th E Coli UTI (after C diff last surgery) and day 2 with no output. I have a call into Ostomy nurse and will follow up but wanted to know if anyone has had this experience right after drinking the powder. Thank you.

The answer is YES! It's rare but some people get constipated from it rather than 2 months of extreme diarrhea. It knocked my infection out of the park making way for being able to get my infusion so YAY all around.

Probiotics can often help get you back to normal. Yogurt, kefir, probiotic capsules can all work to repopulate your gut with healthy bacteria.
