Sara,

Sorry, haven't read the whole thread but if your primary concern is

the side effects regarding reflux, I wouldn't be too worried. As

I've mentioned before, I have reflux and I also have a severe allergy

to penecillin so have been on cephalexin numerous times. It never

irritated my reflux or made it worse. Don't know if that helps at

all as of course I'm only one case but I do have a very sensitive

stomach and most supplements give me reflux right now but I have

taken cephalexin recently and it did not bother me.

All the best, hugs to you and Tom and best wishes for a very speedy

recovery,
