Thanks for the info.

For the first year or so I was given Zithromax, and

for the past 3 or so years, I have been given Bactrim

just about every month for either Bronchitis,

Sinusitis, Rhinitis, or as the doctor put it, another

" URI " Upper Respiratory Infection.

And every once in a while when I get an attack of

Diverticulitis, I'm also put on Bactrim along with

Flagyl.

Hi Barb E,

I would think that would mean that the wrong

anti-micrbial is being used, to need them that

long. Where do you live?

Has he/she never tested or treated for fungus?

Did you have the divercultitis before you had the

upper respiratory or the other way around?

Here is what Mayo has on that:

Barb E,

If you have been treated that long with

antibiotics, I doubt that you can digest anything

properly as all your beneficial bacteria, that

help you break food down and absorb nutrients

would be gone and you would get Candida in it's

place or other fungus hanging around. Without

proper nutrition, your whole health picture goes

down. If it is right anti-biotic for right

micro, you shouldn't have needed to take it for

long. Sounds like it was fungus since Z pak is

very strong, wide spectrum antibiotic. Should

have knocked something that was bacterial out in

a week or so.
