Is it normal to have bloating while on Cipro for kidney infection?
Patient: I have been diagnosed with a rather serious kidney infection and have been prescribed 1000mg of cipro a day for ten days. My stomach is extremely bloated and it burns when I urinate. I have not had a bowel movement for 9 days. I have liver disease from hepatitis c and I can barely walk at this point and feel extremely emotional and acting strange. Is this normal? Doctor: Hi, welcome to HCM. Urine infection requires evaluation to determine site if infection and organism.Basic urine report with culture, S.creatinine and sonography help us in that.Ciprofloxacin generally is not associated with such severe constipation and gi trouble.Consult gastroenterologist for that.Maintain adequate hydration. I think this would be helpful to you. Best wishes. tc. Dr Jay Patel.
