Feeling quite upset a week after the procedure I started getting nausea thought it might of been a flu bug that was affecting me - so as I wasn't getting better decided to go in the flagyl as the doctor prescribed when I saw her for the procedure. I thought well as I wasn't feeling good anyway may as well get on them knowing I'd probably feel
Crap with them. Finished them yesterday and today felt so ill on waking - have felt all week like I've got another bug loosish stools inflamed feeling in the stomach and my bowel feels open or inflamed.
I'm hoping I feel this way because I also have started getting sinus and ear congestion which I read last night can make you feel nauseaous.
Throughout my 7 months I hardly ever had nausea with the ibs so this is really upsetting me - I was told after the flagyl if it didn't work I'd have to just stay on the fodmap diet and normafibre.
I just feel so down - thought having the procedure and nothing sinister to report I'd start dealing with it but now this has upset me so much
Have I opened up another can of worms having the procedure?
Did anyone get sick like this after their procedure and will it settle down?
Hi rhonda: Sorry to know that you are feeling ill. I had a "double dip" procedure = colonoscopy and endoscopy and had no ill effects after. I'm not sure why your physician gave you a script for flagyl (I would suspect that may be the cause of your nausea and loose stool). I cannot take flagyl because of the side effects. If you are not feeling better in a few days, call your physician but try to avoid taking an antibiotic because they can sometimes really play havoc with the good bacteria in your gut. I suspect that once the side effects of the flagyl are over, you'll feel much better. I suggest you do a net search on flagyl side effects and that may put your mind at ease.
Ir ha mejorado desde que he reducido mi consumo de fruta a no más de tres piezas al día (como me aconsejó el consultor). Así fue como comenzaron mis 'ataques' por primera vez - siempre he sufrido de problemas de senos paranasales Hace tres años empecé a tener 'problemas de senos paranasales'. Me despertaba por la mañana y mi cara parecía que iba a estallar, etc. Hice todas las cosas normales como vaporizar sin ningún resultado A medida que avanzaba el día, me sentía como si tuviera la 'gripe' y gradualmente estos ataques se volvieron más regulares, pero aumentaban hasta durar tres días. Me dejaban fuera de combate. Afortunadamente, ahora rara vez ocurren y cuando lo hacen, suele ser por un día. Siempre llevo un tós. Alguien en este sitio dijo que la tos se debe al ácido,
She thinks I have post infectious SIBO (after semonella poisioning 7 months ago)
So that's why she put me on 10 days flagyl. I finished the last one yesterday.
But today I felt much worse maybe my body couldn't take anymore?
I hope after it gets out of my system that I'll feel better. I felt so ill same as when I had the semonella and I'm sure I have proctitis which I had about 30 years ago - feeling like my rectum is inflamed and open.
Honestly I just broke down today - it's been 7 months of worry - and even though they found nothing in the procedures - you just get vulnerable again when this happens.
I feel like I've been hit with bad karma or something - and I honestly always do the right thing with everyone - but crap keeps happening to me - sorry for the self pity it's just a good place to vent. Thanks for your reply
Your body is probably in a bit of shock from the procedures and will just need time to calm down. Stick to a plain light diet low in fibre. Maybe try probiotics.
Estos procedimientos son muy invasivos y traumáticos para el cuerpo. El estrés antes de los procedimientos, la preparación del colon y la sedación pueden tener efectos tóxicos. Estuve enferma con depresión durante tres semanas después de mi endoscopia porque no toleré la sedación. Tu sistema inmunológico también estará debilitado por esto y probablemente seas más propenso a infecciones. También podrías haber contraído un virus en el hospital. Si tengo algún tratamiento médico o hospitalario, salgo con mucho más de lo que entré.
Flagyl puede alterar el estómago; la mayoría de los medicamentos recetados me causan problemas estomacales también. Salmonella suele ser por huevos. Mientras los hayas comido frescos del supermercado, deberían estar bien. La mayoría de los restaurantes suelen estar bien en cuanto a higiene alimentaria. Cuando empezó mi colon irritable, pensé que tenía un virus. Es probable que sea solo una recaída.
Hi: Just a quick note re: eggs. Doc told me to rinse them and then wash my hands, then proceed to crack the shell, etc. He said the nasty stuff is usually on the shells. I rinse just about everything, including any canned food (I can eat peas and canned chicken with rice -- I rinse them all). Lots of rinsing and washing of hands helps ward off a lot of nasty bacteria that may end up in our guts. Be well.
Cualquier alimento fresco como huevos, puedes lavar si lo deseas. Simplemente verifico que no estén agrietados en la tienda o los huelo cuando llego a casa. Con los alimentos enlatados no me molesto en lavarlos porque tienen una fecha de venta o de consumo y contienen agentes conservantes para mantenerlos frescos.
Hi rhonda, just wondering how did you get on after your procedure, did you symptoms go away on their own or was a cause discovered. I had my colonoscopy in March, then a month later started feeling aweful.
My 23 year old son has IBS and also had complications after a colonoscopy ( done in Early Dec. 2018). The GI doctor had a colonoscopy done to rule out any Cancer, Diverticulitus, etc. His scopng showed some inflammation at the connection to the large and small intestine and a biopsy was taken. The results were no IBD indications and the GI doctor felt he just had bad inflammation/symptoms from IBS. Approx. 1 week after the colonoscopy he started to have even greater symptoms of severe bloating and pain ( every day). He also started to have nausea and occasional fevers ( which he never had before). The GI doctor showed no care and only suggested that it was just his IBS flaring up. My son is on a very ‘bland’ diet ( no sugars, carbs, a lot of water, etc.) and so we know that his symptoms are not due to foods. We are struggling with solutions ( esp. since our GI doctor will not help us). We are concerned of things such as : infection due to the scoping , diverticulitis ( perhaps developed after the scoping), etc. Please let us know if you have found any answers as to why you are ill after the colonoscopy. Thanks.
Las colonoscopias ejercen mucha presión sobre el intestino y el cuerpo en general; y el estrés de esto puede causar que el SII se agrave. El estrés antes, durante y después del procedimiento puede contribuir a esto. No subestimes lo que tu médico dijo sobre que sea una recaída del SII. El estrés desencadena el SII. Durante el procedimiento se bombea aire en el colon, de ahí la hinchazón. Tuve complicaciones después de mi endoscopia que duraron tres semanas. La sedación también puede causar problemas.
I recognize and appreciate your comments . However, it should be noted that the severe symptoms happened after 1 week ( not the day after the colonoscopy ). As a matter of fact, the first 7 days after the colonoscopy there were minimal problems. In terms of time, the colonoscopy was done on Nov. 23rd & it has now been 4 1/2 weeks of extreme bloating/pain, nausea , occ. fever and even skin rashes on his legs ( the last 3 he has never had before in the 7 years that he has had IBS). I do a lot of research and have talked to some other general medical practioners who all admit that there might be complications with the Colonoscopy ( including a partial obstruction). If it truly is just severe IBS then when is it supposed to subside. I wish I could talk to someone that went through the exact same situation and then after 2 months it subsided. It would make all of us confident that you are right. In terms of our GI specialist, suffice it to say that he has shown no care or concern ( that is a fact) and that is why I am trying to help my son.
El SII puede durar días, semanas o incluso meses; este plazo varía para cada persona. Parece que la colonoscopia ha alterado el colon y ha desencadenado un brote. Desafortunadamente, esto puede tardar en resolverse. Quizás intente antiespasmódicos y analgésicos mientras tanto para calmar el dolor y pruebe una dieta blanda. Los síntomas del SII pueden cambiar con el tiempo. Las náuseas pueden ocurrir con ello. No sé qué podría estar causando la fiebre y la erupción.
I had an endoscopy done 6 days ago and I have been nauseous on and off ever since. This was the 4th one I’ve had done and the only time I vomited afterwards. I don’t think I’d go through this again unless they can guarantee I won’t vomit and feel nauseated still a week later
There has only been one colonoscopy but the symptoms are similar to you. For approx. 6 days, was relatively well ( occ. bouts of bloating) but then, after 6 days , the symptoms got way worse. Extreme bloating/pain ( felt like a balloon, worst bloating ever) and no energy, nausea, feelings of anxiety, lost weight , etc. It has been over 6 weeks and now working with a naturopath. On a very bland diet but it seems to help a bit. The problem that I have is…what happened with the colonoscopy ? One thought is that the fluids that you take for the colonoscopy wipe out your guts and then there is an opportunity for bad bacteria and yeast to ‘further’ invade your intestines. The other reason would be that the Doctor did not do an effective job with the scoping ( i.e it is a aggravation due to the scoping itself). Did your GI specialist have any kind of explanation.
Después de mi endoscopia, sufrí una depresión severa dentro de las 24 horas debido a la sedación; duró tres semanas. No podría pasar por el procedimiento nuevamente a menos que se hicieran ciertos ajustes para mí.
