I have been on meds since November 2025. Only on two because i couldn’t take the Arikace. Bloating for me was gerd. It has calmed down for now. It caused many issues. Are you on anything like Pepcid? When I bloat I take Gas X and it helps. I stopped Pepcid because it rebound and was causing more problems. So now it’s just tums

@jenny0822, I agree on taking Gas X chewable, or round capsules to help with bloating from the big 3. I automatically take 2 right when I take my azithromycin & ethambutol. I think the Macrolide=Azithromycin is the culprit for my bloating, as I had bloating years ago when I was o Azithro 250 mg 3x week for the lung inflammation benefits (like Cystic fibrosis patients take even though I am *Non-CF bronchiectasis). I have until end of May on the Big 3, then hopefully I will get a drug holiday from them per the 2 Infectious disease docs I see.
