What is bloating with constipation after taking HP medication?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have gastroesophageal reflux disease, endoscopy showed moderate antral inflammation and positive HP. I've been taking HP medication for almost 2 months now. During the course of taking the medicine, every day, the child had easy bowel movements, and sometimes had diarrhea. After taking the drug for 6 weeks, the doctor reduced the dose for me to test HP again 2 weeks later, but more than 1 week after reducing the dose, I often have a full stomach, sometimes abdominal pain spreads to the left ribs to the back, apple. fertilizer. So, the doctor asked me what is bloating and constipation after taking HP medication? Is the above condition caused by taking HP pills? Do antibiotics for HP cause other diseases such as enteritis or kidney failure? I thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question "What is bloating with constipation after taking HP medication? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
There are many types of antibiotics selected to treat HP eradication. The doctor does not know what antibiotic you are prescribed, so he cannot advise you exactly. Each drug can have certain side effects. So, when taking the drug, there are unusual symptoms, you need to stop taking the medicine and go to the doctor again and bring the prescription you are taking so that the doctor can consider changing the medicine for you.
