Damn! That Mike's a lucky guy. Acidophilus works for him. Flagyl

works for him. Krispy Kremes work for him. Judie works for him . . .

Ok, following Judie's (and others' ) recommendations, I went on

Flagyl over the weekend. So far, my afternoon gas bouts seem to be

abating (had to loosen my belt in the afternoon and evening; gas was

guaranteed, no matter what I ate). At first, the Flagyl (my doc

prescribed 3 x 250 mg/day for 30 days) seemed not to do much good,

though for Lucky-Mike it seemed to work instantly. But, as it

appears to be besting the bad bugs, it also is bringing back my oil

discharge problem which had almost disappeared (with the help of

FiberCon). I take refrigerated Acidophilus cultures (mixture of 4

bacteria) several times/day. And, I do not get a metallic taste, but

a real bitter taste immediately on taking the Flagyl tablet, and the

taste can last for quite some time. Lots of tummy tunes playing

daily, too. But, afternoon/evening gas is less evident. Stay tuned.
