Hello.  I just recently had a tooth extraction on this past thursday.  I was prescribed Amoxicillin.  It is not making me nauseated, however, it has made me loss the ability to control my feces.  I have had several episodes of fecal incontinence which has been quite embarrassing.  I do have malabsorption and dumping syndrome from a gastric bypass in 2002.  I have never had this issue while taking antibiotics.    I am at a loss as what to do. I know I need to complete the course of meds, but now not what else to do. Any suggestions.  This is a very embarrassing situation.  Extraction was last Thursday and office closed fri,sat and sun.  Any ideas.  I am 45 years old and having to wear diapers.  I can not always tell when or where this is going to occur and often cant tell I have been incontinent  Thanks in advance for addressing this personal situation.  I take Creon and Lomotil 2 pills of each 4x/day.  Typically it works.  Now, the lomotil has been totally ineffective.  Thanks in advance for any insight or recommendations.  Kim
With your query, as such antibiotics like amoxicillin will also take away the normal/useful intestinal flora which results in diarrhea. Natural remedy is always have yogurt/fresh cued/Yakut which is a probiotic which will definitely help you and also have adequate food moreover, always take antibiotics 30 mins after food. You can also use probiotics like Darla/similar/Lactobacillus spores otherwise you can also ask your pharmacist amoxicillin whicChatDoctores with Lactobacillus spores with reference from your doctor/dentist. Hope this is helping you.
