You can still get diarrhea so still take your acidolphus.

So what's wrong that you need to be on antibiotics?

I was on 2 different antibiotics post op TT/HR. In all I was on for 4 or 5

weeks. The diarrhea started at about 5 weeks and has stayed around but has

increased in intensity in the last 2 weeks. I called and talked to Dr. Core and

he agreed that Flagyl was probably needed. Still taking the acidolpholus....

Mel(fixing to try the butter method...Wish me well)

Must have been Jo because I was thinking, wondering if the butter

interferes with absorption, effectiveness, etc. lol

Marta

glad I never had to take it! Took Avelox instead, very expensive!

I wondered the Same, But the whole truth is the butter made it soooooooo

much easier to take....You people are lifesavers...LOL. It seems to be helping

because the diarrhea has went from every 30 minutes to about every 2 hrs and

I'm only 24 hrs into the med. I couldn't take another couple of days with

diarrhea the way it was. I did have bloodwork to test for c-diff. I didn't know

you could test for it in blood. I always thought it took stool specimens. I

guess you learn something new every day.

But, hey, it works for my gas so I'm willing to put up with it when I

have to! (Like today when I indulged in cream cheese wontons.

Yummm!!!!)

I like the fried pork won tons. The flagyl is great, no doubt. My Stools

had started to smell weird kind of like my momma's did. She had a funky bowel

habit since a Gall bladder removal and chronic diarrhea. Makes me wonder if a

little flagyl back then would have helped her condition. When I think of

people talking about DSers bowel habits being bad I always compare anything to

her. So far nothing I have had touched it, until the last few weeks and then I

was making myself sick. It's has been a miracle....Down to every 4 or 5 hrs

when awake. The first time I slept more than 30 minutes in a row in the last

week. Talk about heaven! Crawling out of a warm bed with my electric blankie

fifty times an night on a cold (20 degree) night does not make for a great

disposition the next morning. I have been a major Bitch(Note the capital

B...LOL)

They are calling for Snow showers Sunday with a Low of 15 degrees. Tom

has GOT to finish the bathroom floor and insulate it or I will die of frost

bite...LOL. He's working OT so it had to wait until this weekend and now he'll

probably have to finish it in the freezing cold Sunday.
