She was on Flagyl and telling how horrible the taste was. Hubby didn't think it could be all that bad, so she gave him one and said " take it " . He did...boy was his face funny as he was trying to deny how bad it was...lol...he finally " hollered Uncle " and started trying to eat/drink something to get rid of the taste...lol. Remember that ..chuckle, chuckle. _____________________________ OMG Jo She wasn't lying....Remember when I got mine and tried to take it with a sip of water on the way home and it stuck in my throat? I emailed y'all staring at the pill wanting to know how on earth anyone took those damned vile pills and you told me this same story? LOL. My best advice is to make sure you have plenty of liquid, to be sure the damned thing gets down. If it sticks, it starts melting and you don''t want it anywhere near anything remotely resembling a taste bud ...LOL....Right julie? I shudder at the memory...LOL. Mel- Thankful for Flagyl tho......

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Actually, Mel, Cipro plus Metronidazole equals complete bowel coverage.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 > > Flagyl is good... maybe even a God send. However, it is the most ghastly tasting medicine I have ever taken. Be sure to coat it with butter, yogurt... something to make it slide down. Avoid the taste at all costs! > > Elle > ************************ Thanks Elle, I will do that!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Sharon, You still have to be good with your diet. Cut the Krispy Kremes out and you should be fine. Avoid yeasty breads. This comes from Mel because I have never taken Flagyl. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
