OOOOOGGGGGGGG..

DON'T CRUSH IT!! The Taste Will KILL you! It is very bitter- toss it

to the back of your throat & have water in hand to down it quickly.

It is well absorbed, you don't need to crush it. the first day or so

made my BMs very loose (but then, what does not..?), so be forewarned.

This doesn't happen to everyone, though.

You also need to start taking acidophilus to help build up the " good "

bacteria in your gut so you won't need to repeat the flagyl, hopefully.

Hope this helps-
