antibiotics

i am a year out and am sick and was wondering if antibiotics still work the same in my new body.

Yes they will work for you. Erythromyocin and some of the others are hard on the stomach and should be avoided. Tell your MD you have a pouch and a sensitive stomach and to order an antibiotic that is easy on the stomach. Always a good idea to take some yogurt with probiotics in it to prevent diarrhea on antibiotics. Good Luck hope you feel better soon. 

thank u so much

Results from taking antibiotics post op can vary. I took Cipro many times to guard against or treat an infection from cuts that needed stitches as a preop. I had an incident around 6 months post op, went to the ER for stitches, and received Cipro to guard against infection.  I took it for 2-3 days and then had severe diarrhea. No changes in diet whatsoever.  I stopped taking the Cipro at 7 days of 10 day treatment, taking Lomotil to stop the severe diarrhea. I told my PCP about this a couple of months later. My medical chart is marked no Cipro as a result. I've taken Bactrim for another infection with no issues.  You won't know if the antibiotic will cause issues until you take it a few days.  DAVE
