I am a 42 year old male who was put on a 600mg 21 day course of Omnicef along with 7 days of Prednisone for a recurrent sinus infection. Augmentin had failed and Avelox was a horror show. After 10 ten days of virtually no side effects I am now totally constipated and bloated to the point my pants don't fit. Also my stomach is constantly rumbling and gassy. I should add that it has done ZERO for my sinus infection. I have been taking pro-biotics everyday. I am now afraid to eat anything and scared of using an enema as I might kill whatever beneficial intestinal flora I have left. It seems to me that besides the "old standards", the new line anti-biotics are just evil. Unfortunately doctors and most Americans over prescribe and over use anti-biotics to the point where we now have to rely on these harsh new drugs. Stop using anti-bacterial hand washes!! Soap is just as good!
