need some antibiotic information

March 27, 2003

Hi family, I have recently had a bout with divriticulitis and was taking two

different prescriptions...Cipro 500 mg and Metronidazole 500 mg/generic for

Flagyl...and then had horrible diarrhea for 5 days. I am just now starting to

feel better...I see the Dr. tomorrow and I was wondering if it is the

medicine causing me the problem??? I won't even go into what else I had to

buy for a very sore and painful bottom.

The pain in my side has not gone away and I think he may want me to take

another dose of something and I am concerned.

EWWWWWWW I have to tell you Cipro makes me soooooo sick. Nauseated, butt

rash!!!! I have no idea about the other medicine, but Cipro knocks me on my

" butt " for a week when I have to take it. Mostly I sleep and feel like crap.

My doc ends up prescribing something for nausea. Tell him about the symptoms

you have while taking the meds. And if you doubt him at all, GET A SECOND

OPINION!

Cipro absolutely gives me horrendous diarrhea. If you need to stay on

antibiotics, see if he can switch you to something else.

,

I was on intravenous and oral antibiotics for fourteen months

follwing my RNY. My doctor told me that just as the antibiotics kill

the bad microrganisms, they can also kill the good ones. The good

ones live in our intestinal tract and help us process the food we

consume as well as keep some of the potentially harmful microrganisms

from overpopulating and causing us harm. Diarrhea is one of the

outcomes of removing or decreasing the good microrganisms in the

intestinal tract. That's why my doctor recommended that I eat yogurt

once a day to reintroduce more of the good microrganisms back into my

sytem. I did that and even took it a step further by taking a daily

supplement called FloraLife which combines three or four additional

beneficial microrganisms in a dry, capsule form. Between that and the

daily yogurt, I quickly solved the diarrhea problem. Hope this info

helps.
