Do they make you bloat? I'm on them for the first time since I was a kid & my stomach is like a football.

    When I am on antibiotics it generally raises my metabolism, I want to eat more, but I also feel like I have more energy.

    I've never had any bloating though

    They certainly can, and they can cause you to have diarrhea. Eating yogurt and/or taking a probiotic with acidiphilous will help.

    I did a Google search and found that bloating occurs in many people who are taking antibiotics. It's something to do with the antibiotic killing off the natural bacteria in your stomach and screwing with digestion. Hope you're better soon!

    Thanks so much guys! Only one more day left so hopefully it will have died down before the weekend...I've been eating well & running, however jeans that fit me perfectly last week wont even pull up over my stomach! It is insane, I feel pregnant, wasn't expecting this.
