Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi Alyssa, I would definitely start going heavy on the probiotics and yogurt. Reading that you got antibiotics makes me cringe although it was probably necessary for the strep. That’s sort of what happened to me when I had outpatient surgery in March – I got antibiotics through my IV, which they do to everyone as a precaution. For the first time since my initial UC symptoms in 2005 I started bleeding, and nothing I did stopped it until I finally started using Canasa suppositories in late April. I even upped my yogurt, probiotics, went back to intro, removed dairy, etc. Nothing helped. I hope they don’t mess with your system as much as they did mine, but at least try to repopulate your gut with the probiotics as quickly as you can because yes, the antibiotics will wipe out all your carefully balanced gut flora along with the step pathogens.
