Antibiotics upset your digestive system, sometimes quite badly. They kill the good bacteria. That can result in bad wind for example. If you get relief after you go to the toilet, that seems to indicate that you have simple problem in the colon area of your intestines which links up with the antibiotics. The problem tends to go away by itself provided you exercise a little common sense. But you can help by taking probiotics which puts back the good bacteria. Aloe vera acts as a laxative and it might help you temporarily but it can also rid your system of the good bacteria. I would try not to take it long term as with anything that is a laxative. You could end up being dependant on them, for example. The heavy breathing is natural - your body is distressed and until you relieve yourself your body is trying to get more oxygen into it.
My advice in summary is to:
- avoid laxatives, watch your diet
- increase fiber gradually (note)
- keep up your fluids (some recomment 3 pints of water a day - not coffee or tea which dehydrate you)
- get some probiotics and tke them until your system recovers (not necessarily until you think you are better).
