hi all, hi @judy75 i too have had bowel issues for many years but on the diarrhea side.... just wanted to say I too got a lot of relief, temporary, from sitz bath but then wondered why so many bladder infections and I think some feces leaking out into the warm water and into bladder.. have radiation cystitis to bladder as well, but I decided to stop the sitz baths because of the possibility of infecting myself with ecoli... but I sure miss sitting in that warm water... now have strep throat and trying to decide whether to roll the dice and not take antibiotic because give me double or more the amount of diarrhea (have ibs-d, fecal incontinence and had cdiff in 2018)... but they say if dont take antibiotic bacteria could go to the heart etc.. honestly, talk about stress!!!! ugh J.

I had some bowel problems a while back from antibiotics. Fortunately, when I contracted a rather a nasty ear infection that went so far as to cause me dizziness and loss of balance, my primary doctor came to my aid by thinking outside of the box!!!. He ended up giving me an injection of antibiotics every other day for a total of three injections and that approach got rid of the ear infection while saving me possible bowel problems. Maybe your doctor could consider this approach....

Please follow your doctor's recommendation to treat the strep. Strep, if left untreated can be extremely dangerous. I wish I could remember the program I was watching (one of the news programs), they interviewed a woman who had strep that was untreated, and she ended up losing a few fingers due to sepsis from the strep infection. This is nothing to take lightly. Good luck to you. Maybe eat a lot of yogurt while you are taking the antibiotic??
