Doxycycline is very irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. The usual dose of doxycycline is a 100 mg twice daily. If you were taking twice this dose it would be especially irritating to your stomach. Usually the pharmacist recommends that you take the medicine on an empty stomach for better absorption. My experience has been that people have a difficult time taking it without eating something
