Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Gobo, You might want to speak with Tom Larsson. He hasn't posted much cause he isn't feeling well. He occasionaly posts to this list, but much more commonly to the ds_usc list. His story will probably make you feel like your are doing well, but he is now much more aware of the medications than I am. Besides the meds others have mentioned which treat the symptoms, there are meds to address the likely root problem (infection). Unfortunatley, these meds can kill off good bacterria and then you have another problem (or at least Tom did)... Anyway the ones Tom mentioned are : flagyl & cipro Hull > > Could you please give me the name of the medication > > that works better than immodium?
