Constipation after stopping rifagut 400
Hi, i took rifagut 400mg 3 times/day for 3 days along with florachamp for diarrhea. Its completed 10 days back itself but for all these 10 days i was getting hard rough stools . My gut seems not digesting fiber at all. Due to this i got fissure now.
Does my gut and stool recover automatically??
I kept postponing taking laxative but now i got fissure

Your gut flora can take a couple of weeks to settle after a course of antibiotics like this, so the hard stools on their own aren't unusual.
Next Steps
Increase fluids and fibre gradually. Please see a doctor for the fissure, since it needs a proper look to heal well.
Health Tips
Try not to strain while it heals, straining will only make the fissure worse.
