Healthnotes Newswire (August 23, 2007)—Treatment with antibiotics frequently causes the unpleasant side effect of diarrhea, most likely because antibiotics disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in a person’s intestines. A new study in the British Medical Journal suggests that drinking a probiotic yogurt drink may help prevent antibiotic-related diarrhea.
Q: I've had stomach discomfort and diarrhea and suspect I may be allergic to certain types of food. Can you tell me about food allergies and their common symptoms?
A: You could be suffering from delayed food allergies or food sensitivities. Immediate food allergies occur when you eat something and you have an acute response to it, i.e. hives, wheezing, etc.
