I am taking antibiotics for an infection of my tooth for three days now and this morning I woke up with diarrhea. I checked the side effects list, diarrhea was on it. What should I do?

i have a severe case of gerd due to certain foods and axiety/panic attacks. yes, i do avoid the triggering foods and i have also tried prevacid, zantac, pepcid ac with little to no help. i get very bad gerd when it comes to anxiety, in which i face everyday, and i want to know of there is anyone who deals with it the same way as i.
i am thinking of going for prilosec. ive heard it is very good but i cant tell if it is coming from people who dont have the same symptoms as i do. can anyone please help me?
its just too hard for me. please be sincere and kind…thank you everyone.
uh . i apparently wrote it because i know what i’m talking about

Pain on left side at the rib cage.

I know that foot cramps are usually related to a low level of potassium. I’ve had a series of about 5 in the past hour. Could this mean my potassium is dangerously low ? A few years ago, following surgery, I needed an IV of potassium.

I’ve been on Pentasa, now Asocal? and steriods. I’ve got really sick taking them. Did anyone else have this same problem. Also gaining weight is so hard. In pain all the time and have to be bedridden alot.

I became vegetarian about a month ago, and, naturally, I have increased my vegetable and fiber intake (though I ate plenty of vegetables before). I know that increased gas and more frequent bowel movements normally accompany the transition to vegetarianism, but I’d like to minimize the gas side effect. Gas-X tablets after meals have helped a bit, but I’d prefer to take a single pill every day to prevent the gas and bloating. Does anyone know of a an effective gas prevention pill or nutritional supplement?

Thank you!

I have killer heartburn :(
My dad has acid reflux and its possible i may have it too.
I don’t have any heartburn tablets or liquid with me, and i don’t have any cash.
I also don’t have anything ginger in >.<
Help, it kills.

The pain in my abdomen moves up to right inder my rib cage, and sometime The right side hurts. And my back hurts in the lower left side too, though the pain moves around alot, off and on all day. I’ve had headaches all day, too; I’m 14 and I’m on my period. What is it and how can I get rid of the pain? Please help, it’s VERY uncomfortable.

I have tried almost everything to reduce my stress and i have seen a lactation consultant which didn’t even help much, I have a very very fussy 3 month old baby, she is always crying and we’ve brought her to the pediatrician to rule out illness and she says that she is perfectly healthy and that her constant crying is normal, i first tried endless things to help my baby be happier but after loads of cuddling and playing ,talking ,singing , leg crunches, music , swing , vibrating baby bouncer, walking back and forth and on and on the only things that are effective are walking her back and forth in her car seat witch is really heavy especially after a half hour of walking it around and rattling a toy in front of her which also gets exhausting but we still do both very often to sooth her and keep her quiet. this has been very stressful along with postpartum medical issues i’v been dealing with as well and i have generalized anxiety disorder so the out come of all this is a decreased milk supply and inhibited let down , a month after she was born i was able to pump 3 oz from each breast now i cant even get 1 oz even after an hour of trying and my baby is starting to fall behind in weight gain also gaining only about 2-3 oz per week she’s 11 pounds right now and was born 8 pounds 10 oz , i am desperate for a solution because i don’t want to have to give up breastfeeding especially since we had to give her formula ( nestle good start) one day and she didn’t have bowel movement for 9 days and we had to bring her into the doctor for it. I just don’t know what to do, i feel like iv tried everything. I know if i just “hang in there” she will get passed her colicky period and breastfeeding can approve but i feel so overwhelmed right now, and my decreased milk supply ( which i have also tried to increase with oatmeal and drinking extra water) is making her even fussier.
I don’t want to give her formula that is why i am desperate for a solution i had no choice but to give her formula that one time because i had to have an ultrasound done which was 3 hours away and was gone for 8 hours and unable to express anything eventhough i tried very hard , I have been bleeding for over 3 months and have retained product of conseption which my OB still hasnt contacted me about and when i called to see what was going on with the results the receptionist was rude and told me that if something was wrong the doctor will call ME, the radiologist at the ultrasound pointed it out to me and even though iv been treated for infection once i’m still sitting bleeding and not getting an answer or anything from my doctor
