I'll never forget Clindamycin. That wiped out all of my good bacteria and I couldn't replace them fast enough with tons of high quality acidophilus. Be careful, it has high c-diff potential if you weren't already aware.

How long did you take it and how often?
I will be taking it 3 days a month

I took it for about 10 days and it really wiped out the good intestine bacteria like nothing I have ever taken

And how did you know it wiped out your gut bacteria? Did you end up with diarrhea?

Were you taking only one type of probioitic?

Girlie - fwiw I had 0 issues with taking a few 10 day courses of Clindamycin. No intestinal discomfort, no diarrhea. Actually, it was among the most effective meds I have taken. I started it just after my last big flare/crash and haven't had a big crash/flare since...

That’s good news!!!

You’re no longer taking it?

I was taking multiple types of acidophilus. If I did it again, I would double or triple the probiotics. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Why are you only taking it a few days per month?

I take a few different types of probiotics...and rotate them. I usually take two or three different ones (capsules) each day.....plus I eat Kefir some days.

I am seeing Dr. J. He pulses all antibiotics.
