Amoxicillin update

I took my last pill of my 10-day course of amoxicillin this morning (i was diagnosed with bacterial bronchitis) and I've not had any problems so far. I've been taking a 3x dose of my probiotic, continued enemas twice a week, and used Canasa on the non-enema nights. Perhaps a bit overkill, but given that I'm having a baby in 9 days or less, now was not the time to screw around! I'm going to continue to use the extra probiotics for several more days and probably the Canasa as well.

Wow, b-girl, fantastic job ... I dont think I have ever managed to avoid a flare on antibiotics- even with strong probiotics- with the single exception of cipro, which I had to take once (ironically for bursitis that was a gift from Imuran) but which did not disrupt my gut. If I were you, I'd keep up the probiotics at extra strength for a solid week or so.

You think you'll ever try FT again? I toy with the idea of that Oregon clinic, since they provide a screened donor. My homebrew (GF) donor was evidently a poor choice as, like you, I flared up when I tried FT.

Best wishes with the coming baby!

Great. I did a course was just 5 days and the flare got worse. Surprisingly, I did not flare on Ciprofloxacin !!.

Best wishes for the little one.

Great news and hope your birth goes very well! Yay, babies!

I've, oddly, never had any issue with amoxicillin. I've had to take it twice in the last few years for dental issues and no gut problems at all.

Yay! Glad it went well! Now the clock is ticking down to baby time :)
