Pages: 1 | 2 | >> (show all) A Month of Antibiotics!!!!!!       #248349 - 02/24/06 09:20 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan Well, the infectious disease dr's office called and I have Chlamydia Pneumoniae. Its not the same as the sexual chlamydia, its actually am air born "germ" which is in the chlamydia family however, it infects the lungs instead of the sexual organs. Its basically a walking pneumonia!! I guess this explains the shortness of breath I've had for months, the sore throat and wheezing! They actually did an echo cardiogram when I was pregnant for these symptoms but I bet it was this instead!! The treatment, a whole month on anti-biotics! There is no direct info that links this with miscarriages but they do know that any infection in the body can cause miscarriages so who knows. One more thing to add to the maybe column but still no solid answers there. I'm still waiting on the results of the Lymes and a few other things. I can't imagine how my tummy is going to handle a whole month of antibiotics! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

I can only poop on them when I have eaten a TON of grease or taken meds to force it out! I'm an A and it always throws me heavily C- I can eat salad all day and still not poop on bactrim! -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: A Month of Antibiotics!!!!!!       #248403 - 02/24/06 11:17 AM Edit Reply Quote Yoda (formerly Hans) Reged: 01/22/03 Posts: 3682 Loc: Canada Whoa.

I just did a week of antibiotics a couple of weeks ago and had constant D, like 8-10 times a day, talk about raw bum! Better stock up on the baby wipes! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

I am usually C but had AWFUL d a few weeks ago when I did just a weeks worth! We're talking 8-10 times a day, RUNNING, not walking to the bathroom, my bum hasn't recovered from that fully and here we go again! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

I usually take Miralax everyday to poo but I won't be needing that for a while. Be brave, will, lets see, maybe I'll crap so much I'll lose some weight?!! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

YUCK!!! I can't imagine a month! Do you take probiotics during this time? I'm hoping like crazy it helps me! Let me know how your tummy handles it. Our bodies are just so odd, aren't they? -------------------- God is Faithful!

I use heathers Acacia and have for a year or two now and it has the pre-biotic in it, before that, I did take probitoics. I wonder if I should take them again? I know I didn't do well a couple of weeks ago when I did just a weeks worth, not sure how I'm going to make it a whole month! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
