Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks Carol, So you do take antibiotics, if necessary. I'm still eating small (very small) amounts of yogurt. Before this problem I eat lots of yogurt whenever I took Keflex or any other antibiotic. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to eat more if the occasion arises and I must take an antibiotic in the future. Thanks again. Best wishes, Ronnie > > > > Because part of my problem is due to an infection and another by over- > > prescribed antibiotics, I cringe at the possibility of ever getting ill > > and having to take something (antibiotic).

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Ronnie, ever thought of seeing a classical homeopath?, I swear by it, and try my hardest not to do antibiotics, my boys have never taken antib. always sorted illnesses out with homeopathy, you do need to search out a reputable practitioner though, best wishes, Josie > > > > Because part of my problem is due to an infection and another by over- > > prescribed antibiotics, I cringe at the possibility of ever getting ill > > and having to take something (antibiotic).
