Cant Get My Diarrhea To Stop!

Re: stool collection. When my GI gave an order for that I wondered "How?" so I went to the lab I use for blood tests and gave them the order since they would be the ones I'd be dropping it off to and asked how I would do that. They gave me a "stool hat" and small specimen jars with instructions.

The stool hat is plastic and sits in the toilet, couldn't be more practical. Then after that I delivered the small containers in a brown paper bag lol.

Flagyl always gives me a metallic taste in my mouth and a bit of a headache. I hope you continue to feel better after the course of prednisone. Have you considered the triple antibiotic therapy? There was a post iin the past were many people were having good results.

I had a terrible headache as well and always get the metal taste when I swallow them. I haven't started the prednisone yet as I wanted to give the flagyl a few days. Prednisone has caused me many problems so I was very hesitant on starting it.
