Antibiotics

We all handle antibiotics differently but some of us take probiotics which can help counter the affects of the antiobiotic. Usually any of the "Cyclines" are a bad idea - these get rid of bacteria both good and bad in the colon. And typically all the "'cillians" are not ideal either but a better choice then the "cyclines". I find that Zithromax had no affect on my Uc at all when I had to take it last for bronchitis. What do you have to take an antibiotic for? Also too if you aren't on a probiotic, eating yogurt helps too - it's just not as effective as a probiotic.

I took Flagyl (sp?) which was supposed to be great for people with colitis (and a bacteria problem) but I didn't notice any difference. This may just have been my case (my GI swears by Flagyl). Also, I had to fight with the insurance company to get them to pay for it, but they did. In any case, it is what my GI recommends, but I can't say my personal experience has been that great (of course, i have a cray colon, so who knows???) Hope that helps a little, let us know what you end up doing.

I have ended up on antibiotics way too much this year. 3 sinus infections plus a leg incision that got infected twice. I think the key is to take your probiotics while on antibiotics. I have been on all different ones and I don't recall one affecting my UC more than the other.
