Thoughts on Vancomycin?
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hey everyone,
My GI specialist recommended I try taking a 2-week round of vancomycin for what we think is a bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine. I have already tried rifaximin, which did not help improve my symptoms. What are your thoughts on this antibiotic? Have any of you tried it before, and, if so, did it have any significantly averse effects on you? What were your symptoms before, during, and after using it? Do you think it was successful?

-occasional stomach cramps and pains (especially in the lower left quadrant of my abodmen)
-constantly feeling like someone has poured cement in my intestines and left it there to dry
-change in bowel movements (I now have to force myself to poop if I want to have any sort of bm at all, even though my stools are soft almost every time)
