I'm a 18 years old female with a past of 10,500 calories a day and a family history of rashes.

On stopping treatment with Ciprofloxacin, 2 days before the next dose, my gyno experienced 3 days of diarrhoea and 2 days after that my gyno recovered. My gyno then experienced a 2 week period of headache and hallucinations. I stopped treatment with Ciprofloxacin and my gyno then developed giardia in the nose and diarrhea. I started experiencing abdominal pain and bloody diarrhoea. I have 3 ulcerative colitis, 2 Crohn’s disease and 3 ulcerative colitis. My gyno has had 2 recurrences, my liver disease and my gallbladder disease have all subsided.
