My gut is not normal even with probiotics after staphylococcal infection. Please suggest natural remedy.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your history, and I understand that you are suffering from gut-related issues. Could you elaborate on what is disturbing you, whether it is persistent diarrhea or something else? And since when you have been on Dicloxacillin?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is nice to hear back from you. I could see you have gone through a long medical journey. Your stool consistency issues could be mainly due to your gut microbiome disturbance, as you rightly pointed out as a consequence of long time antibiotic usage. Kindly take medicines as I have prescribed below regularly for two weeks and review it back with me. If not resolved, then we shall proceed for stool testing. And the medicines I am giving can be safely taken with your other regular medication.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can very well get my medicines as a prescription locally. And regarding your query about Dicloxacillin, yes, that is an important step we need to decide. But you are considering your long medical history with repeated cardiac ailments. I would suggest you consult with your regular cardiologist regarding this and clarify whether you need to continue the antibiotics. If so, whether can you switch over to an alternative drug. That would be the right choice as just discussing over text about your cardiac illness and me suddenly changing your regular medicine is not correct.

You can discuss this with your cardiologist about our conversations. It would be good if that can be withheld for a few days, atleast for these two weeks. Your cardiologist will be the right person to decide upon it since he only knows your personal physical and medical status better than me.

And regarding meat, let us give your gut two weeks holiday period for meat as sometimes it may disturb our body's harmony with the medicines. Review back and update me after you have a word with your cardiologist.

Yes, you can order them as per your convenience. Omeprazole can be taken instead of Rabeprazole, both belong to the same group, but Rabeprzole is little more potent than Omez. You can take either of them.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If you feel your gut is getting better day by day, you can continue Omeprazole and pre probiotic on a daily basis until you feel you are well improved.

Let me tell you a personal experience. My wife suffered from a cholera pandemic. She developed post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome where she could not tolerate even a small amount of food, immediately she had to go restroom. She was afraid at the sight of food itself. So, we consulted a gastroenterologist and she was started on this regimen which she had to continue for nearly six months for her to recover completely. Now she is completely fine able to take nonveg and all kinds of food without any issue.

I am giving a similar regimen of hers to you as I myself has visualized the improvement after longterm regular medicine intake in my wife. So, need not worry, you can continue with this regimen on a long term also. It will not harm you in anyway even if take for long periods.

And regarding meat, if possible extend your holiday period for further two weeks and then start slowly in a step up fashion gradually increasing the quantities. But anytime if you feel consuming meat is disturbing the harmony, please do withhold it for few months. And yes before I forget, did you visit your cardiologist. What was his opinion and advice?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have not given certain medicines my wife has taken among the regimen, but that was prescribed after an endoscopy and colonoscopic examination of her bowels.

And as you said, you are recovering, but in a slow pace. I would tell until it is on the improving trend that let us wait and continue the same regimen. Since your bowel had suffered for a long, I think it has to take its own time to recover from its hard times, although slowly but only to make you happy and serve you better for your taste buds in the future.
