But my stomach pain was very stubborn
and I got mild heartburn from it. After treatments with a PrevPac
for h.pylori
and Xifaxin for parasites, I felt better, but the ache & chronic tenderness still held me back. I switched to Avelox and the stomach pain reduced quickly, so I do believe Rifampin was making it worse. About 2 weeks into Avelox I had some cramping in my left Achilles heel, so they switched me to Levaquin.
