Bacterial Overgrowth Thanks Heidi

April 23, 2003

Thanks Heidi, for your reply I was diagnosed with CP in September of

last year after 1 1/2 of being sick with trips to ER and hospital, the

area where I used to live was not to aware of CP and only until I

moved close to family and a large teaching hospital was I diagnosed

with the CP I had lost a total of 125 lbs over the 1 1/2 before I knew

what was wrong with me but recently started having alot of problems

with diahrea after many tests my doctor decided to put me too on Cipro

and I'm still on it for just one week and I'm afraid that when I go

off the Cipro I will get sick all over again. How long were you sick

with the bacterial overgrowth? After researching about bacterial

overgrowth I found that some of the medications that I was put on may

be harmful and may have caused the bacterial overgrowth. These

medications stop the acid in your stomach and therfore kill the good

acid that is supposed to be there. This last illness has left me very

weak so I don't get on the computer everday but I want to thank

everyone for all the information about CP that I have learned here.
