Hi Anon,

Thanks for posting!
You aren't pregnant-- chances are that if you were on antibiotics, the upset stomach, nausea, and some other symptoms could be side effects. You also mention being on Anti-Inflammatory drugs-- The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, rash, dizziness, headache, and drowsiness. NSAIDs may also cause fluid retention, leading to edema. The most serious side effects are kidney failure, liver failure, ulcers and prolonged bleeding after an injury or surgery.

The combination of Anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics could be causing havoc on your tummy. Are you off both of these drugs now? If so, your symptoms should subside-- if not, you may want to schedule a visit to your doctor.

All the best,

Rosa
