Who had success with Rocephin?

I remember someone posting that Rocephin helped his/her colitis.

According to Harvard, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis might cause IBD. Proteus is killed by Rocephin.

This is the easy read article.

This is the scientific version - it seems to be maternally transmitted.

And this is how to treat one type of bacteria.

I remember Hailey from Hailey's letter had luck with rocephin and also therearemiracles. I don't know of anyone else who has tried it but I find Eva's experience to be interesting as well.

I will peruse the links you posted.

The long article mentioned that Flagyl alleviated the colitis and I did great on it, too. I hope there will be more follow-up research on this and some abx combo to treat it.

Rocephin gave me my life back! It didn't matter what I ate, how much I ate of if I just ate a piece of carrot, pea, rice or anything my stomach would erupt with pain gas and bloating and the only way to get it to go away was to lay on my left side and fart it out. I would have to leave restaurants, outings to go home to do this. If there was a bathroom that was for one person, I could lock the door and lay down on the floor and do it, often with bloody mucus coming out with it. I would lay on a freakin nasty dirty restaurant floor to do this!

Reading Hailey's letter, then finding a Lyme's doctor (being tested for it through a Lyme's testing company only, not regular MD they miss it alot!) my doc has me on a  500mg of Rocephin weekly shot in the hip and now I'm adding in Rifamphin daily.

Rocephin has been a miracle for me. Now I can eat, no gas or bloating! I still have bloody, mucus, stools but 1/2 my problem has gone away. No I'm working on repairing my gut with Natren Superdophilis powdered probiotics.

If you can get a doctor to try it with you, I would! The first time I tried it 5 years ago, I was healed for one full day. There was some connection there with bacteria.

Best of luck!

therearemiracles, what test and lab did you use for these 2?

I get bronchitis a couple of times a year and I am treated with the anti biotic Avelox and a couple of shots of Rocephin during the time I am ill.  The Avelox makes me ill but helps with bronchits.  I haven't noticed anything special about the shots of Rocephin though, other than helping me breath a little easier.

The Avelox is mostly affecting my colitis... major nausea, pains, queasy, bloating. My arthritis in my knees have caused bone on bone and walking is difficult. I am having a TKR on April 27th. I have noticed that since Friday when I started the Avelox, my shoulders and hands are in so much pain it is hard to work.

Oh yes, I have arthritis in my hands shoulders and knees.  I noticed that this week the shoulders and hands are worse than normal.  My knees hurt alot but that is because as my doctors says, "You have the knees of an old lady!"  The Avelox didn't create the pain, the pain seems worse these last few days.  I will be on Avelox until Friday night and then my body should be better - both the bronchitis and colitis.
