Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Is this something that men can take as well? Also, what if any contraindications are there? Does it slow weight loss, does it affect bowel movements anything out of the ordinary? -- Best Regards, Rich " One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain " BM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 I found an interesting little article on flatulence and flagyl, (sounds like a new law firm)! http://www.healthcentral.com/peoplespharmacy/PharmFullText.cfm? id=19045 Flagyl is a pretty potent antibiotic, and I would just point out two things from my own experience. First, as I recall, you can have NO alcohol whatsoever when taking this medicine. Secondly, although the drug can be used to treat yeast infections, I found that it caused them in me. (Almost every antibiotic does that to me). So while one end may be cured, ya know the other is gonna suffer! Laughing. Third, I had to take it with food or I got seriously sick to my stomach. Anyway, for more information on the drug, see: http://www.healthsqr.com/newrx/FLA1178.HTM The one question I would have for my doctor is, what are the implications of long term antibiotic usage and its impact on creating possible drug resistant situations in my future health care.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Wow, Theresa, thanks so much for sending those links! I did ask the druggist if Flagyl was an antibiotic and he said no it was anti- bacterial and this is also what the link you sent http://www.healthsqr.com/newrx/FLA1178.HTM says about Flagyl, so it shouldn't create a resistance to antibiotics in your body. No alcohol is not a problem for me, and I already know about it making you horribly nauseated if taken without food (been there, done that!). But this stuff has been a miracle for me, just like the lady in the first link you sent. It has transformed me from a walking gas machine into a normal person from the very first pill I took. My tummy is just as quiet and happy as can be now, no rumbling, no diahrea, NO GAS!! I am amazed. Life is good. Yippee!! (can you tell I am happy, lol?)
