Man, I sure hate being on antibiotics when my digestive system isn't happy to begin with! Bad enough when I have to take them when my digestive system was in reasonably good shape at the beginning, but if there are digestive problems, the antibiotics tend to aggravate them *miserably*.
When I was still in college but after I was married, myself and many of my friends at school came down with bronchitis. All of *them* went to the student health center and got erythromicin (sp?), 333 mg to be taken 3X daily. I went to a doctor's office and got erythromicin, 500 mg to be taken 2X daily. Everyone's digestive system was in bad shape by Day 5, but since I only had to do two massive meals to help buffer the stuff, I was in slightly better shape than the rest of them. (One guy was convinced he was practically dying; those of us women who'd had extremely bad cramps at some point and were experiencing something a little less drastic with the antibiotic had some sympathy for him, but not as much as he was looking for....)
I feel for you, Nick. I'm glad for you that this is almost the end of the antibiotics for you, and I hope they don't have to prescribe more for any reason anytime soon.
I suppose I'm lucky in having a (usually�) "cast-iron" digestion, because I've never had any digestive upset from antibiotics.
