small intestine infection treatment - #15120
I am really worried because I've been dealing with some awful stomach issues lately. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I noticed this crazy bloating and gas. At first, I thought it was just something I ate, but then I started having this dull pain in my lower abdomen. Fast forward to last weekend when I ended up in the ER after some really bad cramps, and they mentioned something about a small intestine infection. They recommended some tests and finally confirmed it was an infection in my small intestine. They didn’t give me much detail about the small intestine infection treatment, though. I’m really anxious about how to handle this. My doctor prescribed some antibiotics but also mentioned dietary changes are important for small intestine infection treatment as well. I have no idea what to do! Are there specific foods to avoid? And how long does the small intestine infection treatment usually take before I start feeling better? Will I need more tests or follow-ups? It’s just been super overwhelming, and the whole thing feels kinda vague, you know? Any advice or personal experiences with small intestine infection treatment would be sooo appreciated!
