Antibiotics follow up

Post by Zoey244 »

My follow up, after taking an antibiotic other than Z pak. MyPCP prescribed Cefuroxime 500 mg for 10 days. I wanted to be able to breathe and stop coughing so against my better judgement I took the prescribed antibiotics. Reading about the side effects freaked me out but it was a last resort. I finished the 10 days without any side effects but about two days later things started to happen. I started to have stomach cramping and loose stools up to 4-8 times. I thought it was a flair or worse yet C-Diff. This lasted 4-5 days but than stools became normal and less plus cramping stopped. I continued to take only Allegra. It’s been two weeks and things seem back to my normal. Not sure what this all means but thought I would share.
Erica I’m still thinking about the Nano silver.
Thanks for listening.🤗👋

Sounds as though it may have been a close call, but fortunately it turned out OK.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Zoey,

I can still report that I am doing well on the maintenance dose of a teaspoon a day....and It really put a screeching halt to the Norovirus my husband and I got at midnight last Thursday night....we both took 2 teaspoons 3 times a day for two days and by the third day we were eating and cleaning house! (we had heard after the fact that it had been going around the school and our grandson had just had a bout with it two days before we came down with it).

One other aspect of how I feel things are going is the S. Boulardii I have been taking....I seriously feel this has been the breakthrough for my body....I've lost bad bacteria with the use of the silver and now with the prebiotic I have given my gut something it lacked and it must have tipped the ratio just enough that I have had so many normans daily since starting it I am very impressed!
