I'm going through a similar thing although I'm a little more worried. I got bronchitis in mid July, my doctor prescribed Clarithromycin, the side effects include "diarrhea, nausea, extreme irritability, abdominal pain and vomiting", and I experienced all of these symptoms after 6 days of taking these antibiotics, which lead me to stop taking them. I feel like my intestines have been drastically weakened, 2 weeks later I went to a music festival, drank hard alcohol, I experienced the same thing that I got with the antibiotics. 2 weeks after that, after drinking wine at a dinner party, I experienced it again. Every time I go through it, usually the intense intestinal cramps and the nausea last about 2 days, but ever since I took the antibiotics (which has been almost 2 months now) I still feel generally unwell, apart from when I drink alcohol, it remains relatively constant.
So I stopped drinking alcohol (not that I drink that much anyway), I'm not eating any foods that could or would make me sick, started taking probiotics called 'Sandoz' about a week ago, still though, this constant feeling of being unwell remains.
If anyone could shed some light, or give me some advice, and more importantly, tell me that it's normal, it would be appreciated !
