Continue meds: GI distress is a common side effect of Doxycycline. While uncomfortable, it is usually not something that requires discontinuing this med. Try taking the med after eating a small meal. Increase water consumption, and add yogurt or other source of natural probiotics. If you develop bloody stool, severe stomach pain, or rash, consult your prescribing dr.
