Re: When to take inulin & probiotics

[Guest guest]

Duncan:

In case of acute diarrhea or gut cramps we have to take the allopathic medicine

such as Flagyl (Metranidazole). Its course is of 5 days to 7 days. Now two

questions:

#1. Its wise to take nystatin also. But should it be taken with Flagyl or after

you stop Flagyl?

l

#2. When to start inulin and probiotics--after the course of Flagyl or parallel

to Flagyl?

As you know, Flagyl will kill both the good and bad bacteria.

But candida is a different story. Candida forms spores and hence can't be killed

by antibiotics. We have to take nystatin.

Personally I can't tolerate Flagyl beyond one day. I lose appetite and feel

nauseated on Flagyl. So I take an old medicine called Entraquinol (banned in

many countries). My main enemy is E-Coli. Currently the lab test revealed that I

am passing E-coli cysts in my stool. But I still have diarrhea. Doesn't it mean

I have inflammed gut presently?

Your comments please.
