Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 I have been taking Flagyl now for just under a month and have not experienced anything resembling a metallic taste in my mouth. The only thing I have noticed is no more gas and alot less stink. --- Sharon wrote: > Flagyl is known for the metal taste.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think I would want stool cultures or some idea before trying Flagyl. My GI thought my symptoms a year ago were due to C dif, and I took a course of Flagyl. It was horrible. I was nauseated the whole time and it made me feel terrible. I thought it was the antibiotic from Hell. Don't take it unless you really have to. Just my two cents, PJ > > Saw a doc today for a treatment called Scenar. In reviewing my history she stated that I may be suffering from these symptoms due to a severe intestinal infection, perhaps Giardia, that I had in West Africa many years ago. She said that the bacterium could have survived in the appendix and started overpopulating the gut after my first pregnancy. If the Skenar treatment doesn't yield the expected results, she suggests I try course of Flagyl (antibiotic) to > treat the infection. She said it wouldn't kill off L. acidophilus in the GI tract because it targets gram-negative bacteria. > > Any experiences with Flagyl or combining Flagyl with SCD? > > Thanks, > Lilian > " IBS " -C 10+ years, SCD 3 1/2 months > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I took Flagyl just a few months prior to starting SCD. It didn't make me feel bad, but it gave me a horrible case of D (and I ran constipated back then). Holly Crohn's SCD 12/01/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
