Continue the flagyl....for sure don't stop it!

What you do NOT want is for any possibilities of bacterial flora to get even more out of whack if you did have something.

Are you on probiotics?

Yes, I started taking one probiotic a day since I started the flagyl, okay I get back on it. I was just so overwhelmed with all the meds. I am only late an hour with dose.


;-(

It really is Soy! Awful, horrible stuff. Never take it again! Ever. It didn't take long to show its fangs!

Can you take flagyl and probiotic at same time.

I am also taking a multi and tumeric.

yup dmc, I totally agree - it has it's place, just not at my house !

Take the probiotic separately....when do you take the flagyl?

Prednisone is a miracle medication...it's saved countless lives. It has its place, but not a medication to be taken just because. I think it needs a good plan...

You can take both flagyl and probiotics at the same time (and I'd actually recommend it), but not in the same DOSE. You want to separate them by at least three or so hours.

When I was on antibiotics for bronchitis in February, I'd take my antibiotics with breakfast and dinner, and my probiotics at lunch and bedtime. And I guess I also threw in a middle-of-the-night dose, because I was pregnant and got up to pee at least 2-3 times each night, so it was easy to take some then, too.

And as far as prednisone being horrible, I used it to gain remission and did very, very well while on it. I wasn't on it long, though (only a month and a half total) and was not on a high dose for very long at all. I tried just using mesalamines for quite some time, but it became apparent I needed something more.

I just took the flagyl, I was late. So I will take the probiotic at dinner and then flagyl way later.
Tomorrow I will take it in the morning and at night and be done with it.

I am sure pred does and has helped, but not for me. I fear that I am very med sensitive, I have always been, but now I am sure of it.

Heres hoping the rest of the flagyl, balsalaside and steroid enemas will do the trick. If I get cramps back, I will ask for bentyl just like everyone here suggested!!!!

What a mess!

Here's the poop! I used steriod enema last night and much better again this morn. I also restarted balsa lazide yesterday because I was seeing mucous for first time!

My plan:

Balsalazide 3 @ 2x a day
Steriod ennie nightly
Probiotic
Fish oil
Turmeric
Multi

If this keeps cramp and d away I be happy.

Scope soon.

Oh and Xanax because this is literaly driving me crazy!

Thanks again everyone! Where would we be wo the Internet? How did people survive?

Xoxoxo

Oh and super bland diet, cooked everything, no spice, no acid, no dairy except butter and cheese.

LOL...we survived with books from the library and the book stores! ;-)

Sounds like a good med regimen for now....

How much turmeric are you taking? How much fish oil?

Good plan on the Xanax....

How are you feeling today?
