Talk to your doc about starting to supplement with probiotics now, so that you don't end up with a bacterial skewing problem such as C. diff after taking antibiotics for prolonged periods of time. The probiotics will hopefully also help to swing your system back toward 'normal' levels of good flora.
Hi, most of us take a probiotic. I guess your doctor is saying to eat yogurt since it has some probiotics in it. 2 hrs before or after shouldn't make a big difference but you should ask the Dr.
Are you taking Doxy for Lyme? If so, it is not long enough. Even for a recent bite, you should take doxy for 4-6 weeks. My ex husband, whose job was working outside, was bit by ticks often. He took doxy for a month after a bite.
Hello,
I took doxycycline (antibiotic) from June of 2012-December 12th, 2012. I went off of it due to the fact that I was bloating and my stool was loose(no diarrhea) and off colored. My doctor told me to take probiotics and if need be start taking the antibiotics again in 2 weeks. I've been taking probiotics since December 12th and the problem still persists. What could be wrong? I thought that maybe I might be lactose intolerant, but I wasn't before? This is super frustrating.
Today is my last dose, but I’m still experiencing anal itching, that goes away and comes back. Not sure if I’m still infected with chlamydia or if it’s just inflammation from taking so many antibiotics. I started taking probiotics and using hydrocortisone and cloritimazole cream for itching. I haven’t been sexually active since the day I got tested and treated. What should I do? Please help any advice is helpful.
I read last nt that the antibiotic he is on, Doxycycline Hyclate has this happen a lot if you do not drink a lot of water with it AND sit upright for 30 min after, neither which he did the other night. I read that it irritates the esophagus when this haopens. I gave him Tums last night and he started taking Zantac today. He said that it is not burning as much but is just pretty bothersome when swallowing. Anyone know of anything else to do for this or how long this will last?
Thanks!
The doctors prescribed me 10 days (2 100 Mg pills a day) of doxycycline. I was only able to take 9 days because at this point I could not keep food down. I have tried everything. Prunes, vinegar, laxatives, enemas, magnesium citrate, probiotics, eliminating wheat, gluten, soy, dairy and everything else imaginable. The bouts are now becoming consecutive. The images have shown that the stool is stuck up in the upper part of the large intestine so it is not coming down. I am beyond miserable.
Please consider taking some good probiotics to undo the damage from these 2 courses of abx by replenishing your healthy bacteria.
I hope this helps.
Best Wishes.
She was staying at my parents house in Pennsylvania and my sister took her to the vet because she acted so lame and actually fell down the stairs. She was treated with a month of doxycycline and her titer decreased from 175 to 133. She had another round about 6 months after that and it decreased to 100.
t know what probiotics you are taking. I take Culterelle which is just the organisms found in yoghurt. No problems at all.
my doc prescribes me antibiotics everytime, but i just dont feel safe taking them during my pregnancy. I bought some GNC probiotics to take instead of the antibiotics but the warning label says to advice health care provider before taking them. But my apt isnt until weds. Has anyone taken probiotics during pregnancy? & did it cause any harm to the baby?
Recently I switched doctors and went to a female gynocologist who diagnosed me with ureaplasma/mycoplasma. I was given doxycycline to take for 7 days and told that the symptoms would go away. However the symptoms have not gone away & I still have the daily discharge and the occasional sour odor. Most times there is no itching just the white discharge, however when the discharge turns yellow the odor is also present & then there is a slight itch. What can I do about this?
I have bronchitis with a severe cough I am taking 50mg cortisone a day I am not able to cut down yet as the cough is too severe. It's been around 4 weeks since it started as a sore throat and moved down to my chest am taking antibiotics Clarithromycin 250mg & Doxycycline Monohydrate (50mg), Rikodeine or Codeine cough suppressant, Symbicort inhaler. I'm not sleeping well a couple of hours here and there and I'm exhausted, am severely constipated.
I also take my Zyrtec at that time. I just started the probiotics and was taking them with breakfast but have read that they should be on an empty stomach. That's my only real empty stomach time because of all my other stuff so now I'm concerned about them interacting with my thyroid meds. Anyone?
I just finished another round of doxycycline have been taking rephresh probiotics drinking kefir and inserting plain dannon yogurt. I still have fishy smelling discharge and burning. I'm supposed to spend a weekend with a guy I've been wanting to be intimate with for a while now and I can't tell him bc we aren't in a relationship where I feel comfortable exposing that much.
According to the literature a select few brands of doxycycline may not have restrictions about taking them with dairy products. Any way I would be sure and take the meds with your meals as this should help ease the tummy upset.
If your symptoms get worse be sure and call your physician. Good luck to you. I hope you are soon feeling much better.
I am 5 weeks pregnant. I wake up feeling nauseaus everyday. I have been taking probiotics for the last couple of days and I feel a lot better. Has anyone spoken to their doctor about the safety of probiotics? If so what were the recommendations?
