You also have urinary symptoms. You may be having GI problem as well, but certainly the antibiotics you have taken for UTI have not been effective. Get urine tested again to make sure.
Good luck!

It sounds like you have two things going on, a urinary tract infection that hasn’t fully resolved and your acid reflux which is probably causing your nausea. You probably need to go back to your doctor and have him possibly change your antibiotics. Some antibiotics reek havoc on your GI system and you may need to switch to something else that your stomach can tolerate that will also get rid of the urinary tract infection. If you have antibiotics from two weeks ago, chances are you probably have not resolved the urinary tract infection and would need to change antibiotics anyway.

Did you finish every last bit of antibiotic pills your doctor prescribed? You should never, ever stop taking them just because you feel better. Otherwise, you will encourage the bacteria that caused the infection to become stronger and resistant to the drugs which "used" to help. This is because they didn’t complete die out due to not finishing the course of the pills. Go back to your doctor. I’m worried you may have something serious going on. Your kidneys may now be infected, you could also have kidney stones, or even gallbladder attacks. Get it all checked out right now. Don’t fool around with your organs. You need them for life.

You are suppose to finish all of the meds the Dr. gives you not stop them when you feel better, so, you probably do have a urinary trac infection, problem is if you continue to not take the antibiotics properly the stain of the infection will be come immune to the med, and will be very hard to get rid of.
