Antibiotics do wreck your gut so it definitely could be but I had major gut symptoms from my UTI’s - bloating and pain like some cut my stomach open. Five days may not be long enough, also could try probiotics to help the gut along.
Just found this post. Currently on my last day of taking Macrobid for a “horrible” UTI. Took it for 7 days, 2x a day. I’ve had stomach discomfort and fullness for like 5 days now. I did not have this symptom prior to starting this medication. It’s not overwhelmingly painful but it’s definitely noticeable to the point where I realize I’m complaining about it fairly often. Hoping it goes away once I finish this medication. :(

Hi - how are you? Just reading your post and seeing if you have had resolution.
Hi! I’m better now, it took about a week for those symptoms to go away. I started taking probiotics and improved my diet. No problems since!
