Mrs.

I HAVE JUST HAD A REALLY NASTY UTI AND WAS HOSPITALISED. AFTER BEING ON ANTIBIOTICS MY IBS HAS REALLY FLARED UP WITH DIARROHEA AND CONSTANTLY FEELING SICK. I AM ALSO VERY DEPRESSED WHICH APPARENTLY CAN BE CAUSED BY THE UTI BUT I AM ALSO IMMOBILE AS WAITING FOR SERIOUS SPINAL SURGERY, SO OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT IN A GOOD PLACE AT THE MOMENT. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS JUST DO NOT WANT TO EAT.
SYLVIA

Maybe try meal replacement drinks.

hi sylvia, terrible that you’ve ended up in hospital! you could try eating what you fancy. eat very small amounts as it may rebuild your appetite. antibiotics can make you feel quite sick, have you tried a probiotic? good luck and get well soon.

Thank you Sam for your comments which are appreciated. My tummy seems to be taking ages to get back to even a little normal but as you say the antibiotics I took have caused severe diarrohea and feeling really sick.
Which probiotic do you recommend?
As I am waiting for a big spinal operation and am immobile due to severe pain when standing, this is obvious not helping my depression and also the heat is unbelievable isnt it?
Thank you once again.

thank you so much, i don’t even know you and you are the first nice person to speak to! just hang on in there, after this is all over you’ll be very glad.good luck and god bless you.
