Progress halted by antibiotics

[Guest guest]

and I have been doing great with the diet and seeing

significant progress. 's psoriasis has steadily been

disappearing, he isn't having to run to the toilet after each meal, his

bowels are firming up, and his stomach pain has lessened

considerably. I've been feeling fantastic, with much less gas,

bloating, mucus etc. and my bm's have been improving as well. That

is until I got a UTI and took antibiotics. The first day on them my

bm was firm, but olive green. (sorry for the bm talk, but I know

you all understand.) The next day it was blasting watery diarrhea

and today I was back to the familiar cramping, sweating bloody

diarrhea. I'm so upset. This is my first backward step

and it crushes me. I am seeing my gp this afternoon and I'm

wondering if I should ask for antibiotics in a shot, if that's even

possible. I know I have to take care of this UTI, mine come on

quickly and I'm in intense pain within a few hours after the first sign

of having one.

Hi Rhonda,

If you are open to homeopathic remedies I have had success using

"cantharis" for UTI's. I get immediate results and never have to take

an antibiotic again.

Digestive wellness sells a legal cranberry supplement as well as a cranberry

juice that can be diluted. I take them daily to help ward off the dreaded UTI.

Hopefully you will be off antibiotics soon. I hear it also helps to take extra

yogurt when you are on antibiotics. Hope you are better soon.

I've had the same question about the yogourmet- as SCD'ers really put those

machines to work. How long do they last?

Hope you feel better soon!
