My LLMD told me not to eat dairy foods while taking Doxy
Why is that ?

Hi Giftcreations,

Dairy reduces absorption of Doxycycline by the body. You need to leave at least 2 hours between taking Doxy and eating/drinking dairy.
Do you drink/eat a lot of dairy products?

Yes, you will have to do some adjustments.

May I also step into your personal life ? I don't know if you eat/drink a lot of dairy, but it can be better to limit it, cause dairy can promote inflammation. I try to limit my cheeses to goat's and sheep's cheese.
