I used Tetracycline for a year and half for moderate to severe acne. My doctor and pharmacist assured me it was safe and my dad had taken it for years when he was younger.
I am now suffering from chronic abdominal pain that can be cramping or digestive; as well as diahrea for over 3 months.
I believe that the Tetracycline killed off the good as well as the bad bacteria in my gut. (Though my family doctor does not agree.)
I stopped taking the Tetracycline 3 months ago.
I am going for a Colonoscopy next week.
Would taking probiotics and eating Kefir help me out.
My doctor just diagnosed me with IBS on my first visit so I dropped him.
I wish I knew more about the side effects of this medication before taking it. None of the online literature lists this as a side effect.

Your body is telling you something. Listen to it and tell your doctor that its not working. Three months of diahrea is rediculas.
