Comment:
Taken to prevent infection in breast reconstruction after breast cancer. I developed a very bad headache, severe constipation, made worse by pain meds. I stopped the Keflex and pain meds but my normal bowels have not functioned since. I still have very little appetite, am very bloated, hope this passes soon.
