So for the past year and a half ive been doing ok taking ABX. for 9 months i took them straight everyday... and for the past 8 months i been pulsing them m/w/f 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.... today is my last day of week 2...
i have to say, im starting to get really grossed out taking them...like i gag now when i take them and just looking at them makes me so turned off... im dreading taking my last dose tonight.... ive also noticed nausea these past few days after taking them.... but then it subsides after like 2 hours of taking them..... i dunno what it is lately... anyone experience this?

Yup. I feel you. Mine often causes nausea as well for hours...I'm glad I'm on a break at the moment but probably will continue this weekend if my lab work looks good. I've been on them for 6 months now...you have been on it longer than I. Hope you are nearing the end! None of the misery is in vain. =]

I have to take all my Abx with food. I can't tolerate them otherwise. I understand what you are saying though. Since Jan 2016 I have been on Antibiotics for 28 of 35 months. I get so sick of taking them but I'm trying to remain patient and remember it's a marathon not a sprint.

Hugs, Physed -

Hang in there woman. The whole process is very fatiguing BUT after this dose you are off for 2 weeks. Push through. You got this.

When I started experiencing nausea, my doctor's office pushed back and asked if I was detoxing and doing all my supplements - I wasn't . Make sure you are too. I get rather slack at times. They have given me all the tools. I am just being a noodlehead and not using them all the time.

In regards to the gag reflex, not sure about that. Hoping others can help.

Hang in there and hugs!

It is frustrating taking so many pills, I hate the matellic taste they leave in my mouth. One thing that helps me is adding a squeeze of all natural flavore enhancer to my water, they have different flavors and it's made with stevia so there's no added sugar, that seems to make the pills go down easier. Also homemade ginger tea seems to help my nausea, just peel a few pieces of fresh ginger and add it to some hot water!
