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 Cheryl

I've never heard of it, although I'm doing some online research

now. Where do you purchase it from and how do you figure out how

much to use?

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.

Just a quick note: I'm COMPLETELY for doing homeopathic remedies. They've

helped me in many different instances (cramps, UC, shingles, etc). However in

order for them to work you generally want to do a little research in the Materia

Medica (the book or an online version) to find just the right remedy. Every

person is going to respond to each remedy differently and in order to find the

right remedy you need to look at all your symptoms. Do you have headaches, do

your feet get cold at night, do you have dull pains on the left side of your

abdomen and dull pains on the right that get worse when you stand....all those

kinds of symptoms. I'm sure that lots of remedies can be applied to UTIs, the

trick is finding the right one. At least, that's what I've been taught by the

guy who treats me. When it's done right, the results can be amazing. In fact,

there's a doctor in England who claims to have cured 2 people of colitis using

homeopathy. Each one had different remedies used in their treatment. Kind of

makes me want to move to the UK!

Thanks for all of the great suggestions! I'm totally

wiped out today, thank goodness for leftovers because I slept half the

day away. I was told I could discontinue the antibiotics, that the

infection remaining was slight and the doc felt I'd be better off trying

to flush it with lots of water at this point. I'm usually someone

that notices patterns quickly and easily. I'm dumbfounded at how

obvious my body's response to the antibiotics was and how I missed that

correlation before. I think, perhaps, I haven't felt well enough

prior to taking antibiotics to notice the difference. The change in

my bowel health and pain level was drastic and obvious. What a huge

A-HA! moment for me. I managed to start the next yogurt batch..

that poor machine is running 24/7. How long do they normally last

before we burn them out with constant use?

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!
