Answer 1

Antibiotics often cause digestive problems, including diarrhea. Try eating some yogurt to help settle and soothe your stomach. Physicians sometimes advise eating yogurt while taking antibiotics. The cipro is an antibiotic, the methylprednisolone is a steroidal/anti-inflammatory drug. If you continue to suffer from digestive problems, ask your doctor to switch your antibiotic if you need to take it for an extended period of time.

Answer 2

certain antibitics can cause c-difficile toxicity ... an overgrowth of something we all have in our intestines ... it causes a yellow mucous and usually causes uncontrollable diarrhea ... if this resolves on its own ... great ... if not and diarrhea develops go to your doctor and get tested for c diff toxicity ... it starts off just as you have described...

hope this helps,

Not entirely sure, but every time I am on antibiotics I have loos stool.

Answer 4

Look up the side effects online.  Google Physician's Desk Reference.  However, it is possible that the medicine is removing mucous from your intestines, considering it has to travel through it to come out of you anyway.  Remember, the medicine is REMOVING whatever ails you.  I don't know what your illness is, but when you are through with the medicine anyway, you need to drink a tea of cascara sagrada to clean out your intestinal tract and colon.  

Answer 5

Antibiotics interfere with reproduction in bacteria.  Sometimes the natural bacteria that live in your gut are affected, and you end up with digestive problems until you come off the antibiotics and the flora in your intestines return to proper levels.  There are many strains of bacteria that live inside us, and we depend on them for our good health.  Just be glad you don't have diarrhea!
