Abdominal Pain - Possible Causes

Answer 1

This pain across the middle part of my stomach  just started about a week ago.  One week pryer I had an UTI which I took antibiotics for and shortly after that I got the flu and my stomach hasn’t felt the same since. I had diarrhea a couple days after the flu and it was so nasty smelling and was dark greenish in color and just weird looking. The pain doesn’t seem like it wants to go completely away whether I eat or don’t eat

Comments

you may suffer from a kind of flu which cause diarrhea and stomach pain. maybe you only have a Infectious diarrhea after flu. you shoulf see a doctor and have stool tests， and then get the right medication.

Antibiotics destroy the *good* bacteria in the gut, along with the bad bacteria they're prescribed for. As long as you're not lactose intolerant, you might look into taking capsules or powdered Lactobacillus Acidophilus (and/or other "good" bacteria, aka "biotics") next time you're on a round of antibiotics, or whenever. You can get these usually at a health-food store. (I think there are Lactobacillus etc products that don't have lactose). The depletion of the good gut bacteria by antibiotics can set you up for diarrhea etc., you kinda need to replenish them in your gut. Even eating plain yogurt that has live lactobacillus can be helpful, again as long as you have no problems with dairy products.
