#2 Diarrhea
Some antibiotics, antidepressants, antacids that contain magnesium, proton pump inhibitors (such as lansoprazole and omeprazole), and chemotherapy drugs may cause this side effect.
If you think that the cause of diarrhea is related to the antibiotics that you take, you should speak with your doctor and ask about probiotics. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, probiotics are live microorganisms that are thought to offer health benefits when taken or applied to the body. They can be found in yogurt, other fermented foods, and dietary supplements.
Although bacteria and other microbes are sometimes perceived as destructive “germs,” many of them are actually beneficial. Some bacteria produce vitamins, help decompose disease-causing cells or aid with food digestion. Many of the bacteria found in probiotic supplements are identical to or closely related to those found in our bodies naturally.
You should also try boosting your fluid and electrolyte intake because your body cannot retain fluid. Dairy products, avocados, and bananas are all nutritious options that can help you replace lost electrolytes.Â
