Well, starting three antibiotics off at once is going to mess up your gut flora, even if you are taking probiotics. I am assuming you are taking probiotics. Are you taking them two hours after your doses of medicine? Are they a high quality type that you bought out of a refrigerator?

Even so, just starting all those up is going to change things -- as if you had gone to another country and drunk the water. What you need to do now is to start understanding your gut and how to make it feel better when these big changes come. You will learn what foods settle you down, how much water to drink ( a lot), and what kinds of probiotics work best for you.

And your doctor, of course, is right. While you have diarrhea there isn't much point taking the antibiotics as they will just run through.

Hope this is resolved soon.

I personally haven't had any bowel issues from taking antibiotics but I've known many people who have. I suggest that if you feel the dr did not explain to you her reasoning for taking you off then you should call her and ask her why she needs to do this. You are after all paying her to help you. I sometimes feel silly for calling my dr about things that I don't understand but she is patient with me (knowing I don't retain much info) and repeats if need be. :)
Yes to probiotics!
hope this helps.

Wildlyme are you taking probiotics? Antibiotics can really mess up your stomach.

Thank you for all of the replies...

Yes, I am taking a very good probiotic AND probiotic yeast as well.

At first, I was convinced that we were jumping the gun by stopping the antibiotics. But my bowel movements were not quite "normal" for a few days BEFORE (not at all like yesterday's, but still, not ideal). I honestly hadn't thought anything of it... it just felt like my body was cleansing, due to the diet changes I'd been making and the fresh detox juice I'd been drinking and all of the baths. But this still concerned her, because her philosophy is that things really need to be clear in order to proceed safely. It could be that I have some sort of stomach virus, or it could be that I'm reacting to one of the other recently added supplements.... but until we cut things out and add things back in, we won't know for sure, and we might be doing more harm than good.

We are assuming at this point that the antibiotics were not the cause of my troubles, even thought they obviously worsened them... but of course, figuring this out requires some trial and error.

Admittedly, patience is not my forte. I'm so sick of being sick. And I hate being in a place of reaching for a "normal" that isn't MY normal, but is just a few steps above where I'm at. Hhhhrumph.

After eating mostly BRAT foods, my tummy troubles seemed better by yesterday evening, although I was up a couple of times over night, and again this morning. My honey made me toast and scrambled eggs and apple sauce for breakfast, and I'm laying low today. In the meantime, I will send my practitioner daily "poop reports" , and we will take this day by day and re-evaluate when I have "normal" bowel movements again. And I will remind myself, over and over again, that this is progress.... it may feel like otherwise at times, but we are still moving forward, despite a few bumps.

Again, thank you all.... it sure feels good to say all of this somewhere where folks don't think you're completely whacked.
