After not eating most of yesterday, because I was afraid if I ate anything my belly would start hurting again, it finally occurred to me what the problem most likely is. I was on antibiotics for like four weeks straight because I had an infected root canal and then a UTI. I think all that medicine killed off the good bacteria in my intestines. While at Sam’s Club yesterday, I saw this Activia yogurt that’s supposed to restore normal digestive function in 2 weeks or your money back. So I bought a case. It has sugar in it 
but I only have to eat one a day, so it’s not too big a deal. And if it will solve all that stomach pain, it’s worth it.
If I don’t see any difference in one week, I’m calling the doctor again. But hopefully this is it.
Oh Jana, praying that it will help. I know from personal experience that antibiotics can do weird things for your digestion, so I really hope you’ve got it sussed this time.

Jana,
That is cool that you figured that out! I suffer on antibiotics, too and take them as little as possible because of that. They tear up my insides very badly.
I am sure it will help but once you run out you need to know that you can eat plain non-flavored yogurt and it will do the same thing without the sugar. It is kind of a marketing ploy to say it has things that balance the enzymes because plain yogurt has been doing that for years. You can also take a dose of acidophilus every day (you can find this in the vitamin and health foods places in your area) and it is not very expensive either. I have suffered for YEARS with yeast and bacteria issues and the yogurt and acidophilus have done the trick for me.
