    Hi Marareta I've been going through something similar. Thought I had a UTI, went to dr. They did urine test, said it was positive. Gave me Macrobid. I only took 2. Wound up in ER with diverticulitis. More antibiotics. These antibiotics are very powerful and can cause a lot of problems. I'm considering taking a probiotic. When you say it's brought on your IBS, do you mean you're having diarrhea? I think you should drink a lot of water and try and flush your system of the antibiotic and eat very carefully.
