Antibiotics

Can anyone take them without them upsetting their digestive system these days?

I have some, and I've put off taking them until a few days ago, but they make me feel really rotten, and I've vomited up my other pills along with them.

Does anyone have any tips, please?

I've tried before food, with food, and after food.
I've tried drinking water before and after.

They are making me feel really under the weather, though.

Try taking a good probiotic. I find it really helps if I have to take antibiotics for any reason.

Thank you.
Now why didn't I think of that.

I've only got three antibiotic days left to go now.

I think it is the type of antibiotic that is the problem. I was given a course for an infection and they made me violently sick. I had followed the instructions to the letter so I rang the GP and she told me to throw them away and prescribed a different make to treat my symptoms which I was fine with. It is weird how some are okay and others that treat the same illness can make us ill.

I knew as soon as I saw them, and the fact that they are a 'one a day' does, that they were going to be a problem.

Dose!! Not does.
