I have an extended mini face lift last Tuesday and am on Amoxicillion and it's really irritating my GI track.  I am in the bathroom every hour it sucks, just needed to vent.

Have you or are you also taking a good probiotic while on the antibiotic? The antibiotic disrupts the flora in the gut and the probiotic helps to restore some of the good stuff that the antibiotic wipes out.

Try eating at least 1/2 cup of yogurt twice a day ....it really helps me.

Definitely call your doc on this. Diarrhea followong any antibiotic can be a cause for concern.  Since the antibiotics are of questionable value anyway (i.e. you presumably do not have an active infection?) stopping them may be acceptable.

Thanks Dr.Lo - my Dr. said stop taking them and I see him tomorrow to remove the stiches so he will make sure there is no infection (but I can't see/feel any).
