Re: Auto-immune diseases & antibiotics & sinus problems

[Guest guest]

I was on Tetracycline too, in my teenage years, and I have often wondered if they have played a part. Right now I'm actually on my second round of antibiotics (Biaxin) in two months for a sinus infection. I hate to take them, but I can't seem to get this infection to go away -- the neti pot, etc. helps, but hasn't been enough. (I take a ton of probiotics every day year round to counteract the antibiotics.) Speaking of which: How many people out there suffer from sinus problems? I was almost constantly congested when I was in the throes of celiac disease. It's much more manageable now that I'm on a gf diet, but, still, I have problems. My ear nose and throat doc has recommended sinus surgery. I do have several structural problems. L²

I have had strep 3 times ear infections 6 times in the last year and

sinus infections on a continual basis... The doctor told me the

other infections was caused by the drip down the back of the sinus

and throat... I just finished my 4th z pack in the last 6 months and

my sinus is still packed and throat still hurts... ????...I used to

be a sever hay fever allergy sufferer BUT I can say that my " hay

fever " has gone away since I went gluten free since I was diagnosed a

couple years ago...

I have had sinus problems my whole life. I can't ever remember being

able to fully breathe from both nostrils at the same time. I think in

hindsight my cd triggered before 5 or 6 but I wasn't diagnosed until

50. How about dark under eye circles? I have had them since

childhood too. Anyone else?
