To summarize the topic...

When I'm on cipro I get diarrhea... How can I stop it? I take a "lactobacillus acidophilus" pill once a day for probiotics, but it doesn't seem to be helping much... should I take more?

I also get diarrhoea when on cipro, though it usually passes after the first few days. I found that when I took it on an empty stomach (1/2 hr before food or 2 hrs after food) it happened less (whenever I forget and take it too close to a meal I get sick again). Does yours come with the warning not to have milk/antacids/iron supplements within two hours? Those things reduce the absorbtion so more of it might pass through your system and upset things.

Sorry if this is tmi, but once when I was put on the 750mg dose I got very bad diarrhoea and i could smell the meds really strongly when I went to the bathroom. It was because I was on too high a dose and my body couldn't cope, so if all else fails talk to your Dr and see if the dose is too high.

side note: I also get nausea with cipro, I found that sucking on a mint made it dissappear like magic <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I would up your acidophilous-I normally take 2 per day but up it to 4 per day when I am on antibiotics....make sure you check how many live cultures are in it-I think mine right now are 4 billion per pill.
