I'm a new member and was hoping for some help. I took a strong antibiotic (cipro) for a prostate infection a year and a half ago and ultimately got really messed up. I've had IBS-C and IBS-D ever since. Very painful at times. I've tried some probiotics, but nothing seems to really help. Does anyone have any suggestions that might get me healthy again? Any feedback is apprciated.

You should get checked for C. difficile. Also, as a word of caution. I also was prescribed cipro for a month for a prostate infection and then again for an intestinal infection contracted in a third-world country. A couple of years later, I ruptured both the patellar tendons in my legs and only recently found out the likely cause was the heavy cipro use.

get stool cultures done and stool for ova and parasites. Could be an overgrowth of yeast which probiotics should help. What probiotics did you try and for how long. Some probiotics don't make it to the gut or may be a poor quality so good to try different ones.
