A member asked:

On anti tb treatment for spine tb. 4th day of medications and stomach churning a lot. is it normal? by when can body get adjusted to the medicines? also tb gold report negative?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

The TB gold being negative does not mean is not TB; and there are other bacteria that could cause infection of the spine. The medication could be harsh on the bowel but you could look for ways like taking the medication slowly over the course of the day rather than taking everything at once and with food may help reduce the effect. It is important to have blood test to evaluate the liver soon.

The course of meds is long and GI side effects are common. Watch for signs of vomiting and abdominal pain. Discuss the use of a probiotic with your Physician. Watch for signs of worsening pain,fever and night sweats. Close follow up recommended.
