Okay here goes.

I was sleeved on March 26th. Everything has been going great except I have started having really bad seasonal allergies. This has been only since I was post op. I have never had any allergy problems with the exception of dust. Now I am having really bad seasonal allergies. My PCP said I should just buy an OTC allergy med so I purchased some Allegra Allergy (which i cut up into 4 pieces). It has made me very sick with an upset stomach and other...ahem...side effects.

A couple of weeks ago I got a bladder infection and had to go on Bactrim for a week which also made me very sick to my stomach. This is twice now that a med has made me sick to my stomach and I usually tolerate pills and medicine very well.

My question is...has anyone else had any unexpected new aversions to medicine?

Thanks for listening.

I have to eat something when I take anitbiotics. Like maybe a couple of crackers. Hope it helps.

are you taking your pills with any food. I know you are not suppose to dink and eat but when I take pills I have a cracker or soft cheese with them.

My doctor also prescribed seasonal allergy meds. I've taken Zyrtec and a few others and they all make me eat like crazy; so much that I now suffer through the symptoms to avoid the problems with weight gain. I have questioned several others to see if it has done them the same way and they all agree, it makes you feel like you are hungry all the time.

I hate it when my allergies are acting up. I always get a runny nose when eating in restaurants. Now I get a runny nose when I'm full. Oh and the sneezing also hinders me. Our stomach's are certainly more sensitive now.
