Lauren,

Cipro doesnt get along with me at all. I have tried a few times to take it but simpmly after one dose I'm sick to my stomach, like throwing up...sry TMI...but thats what happens to me so i dont take that anymore.

As for the zyvox...I was on half of the regular dose a few weeks ago, and it also made my mouth super dry and its wicked rough on my stomach. I wasnt throwing up, but I was having stomach pains and cramps and all that jazz. There wasnt really anything I did about it. It cleared up my MRSA really well, even with half the dose, but then my PA went up. I am sorry I have no advice, but that is normal with those drugs.

Hey guys,
Thank you for suggesting the other probiotics. I will look into those while I am at the store today. I take Acidophilus - 2 pills daily with dinner.

As for diarhhea and such I always have diarhea with antibiotics. I have NOT been tested this go round of orals for C. Difficil (or however you spell it), but I have been tested for that in the past. The diarhea for me tends to come and go and strange thing for me ... TOBI - Inhaled TOBI - causes it for me oh well.

I get nausea everytime I take Cipro and most always have at least 1 bout of vommotiing too Caitlin so I understand. I find that with Cipro the nausea is worse when I take the med on an empty stomach - even though I know it is recommended so the med absorbs better. I figure some med is better than none - and if I don't take it with food I will be throwing up within 1 hr lol sooo.

I will definitely look into those probiotics when I go to the store though. I have tried yogurt but unfortunately the texture of yogurt makes me gag and causes more problems lol. 1 more week of the antibiotics and 2 more days til the Cruise YAY! gotta go get some last minute things from the store today and finish packing.

THANKS A TON for the advice guys. I didn't know if the probiotics would help with heart burn and such but it is worth a shot.

Take Care,
Lindsey

I always had a problem with Cipro too. I would wreck my stomach and I just felt like throwing up all the time but since they started me on Protonix I haven't had any problems! I wish I had been given this stuff years ago. None of the stuff at the stores ever worked.
