Can some antibiotics cause severe heartburn and stomach cramps?

It ‘was a round of antibiotics (cephalexin) for a bladder infection. He had to leave half of the drugs, because I have stomach cramps and severe heartburn horrible. I tried it with food, I tried without food – no difference. One day after I stopped taking it, stomach pain and heartburn stopped.

Yes, definitely for stomach aches. View antibiotics also kill good bacteria that helps digestion. The best way to replenish the good bacteria in your digestive tract is to eat yogurt.

Sure it can. You should have consulted the pharmacist, however, before he stopped taking it. Also, I hope you have talked to the doctor, perhaps a different antibiotic. You may still need something to cure bladder infection.

Imo, cramps are more urgent than they are serious
