I've Made A Huge Mistake

So I'm on clindamycin and doxycycline. Yay for stubborn skin infections. I'm also taking a probiotic as I have problems with yeast and such, not to mention taking clindamycin puts you at an increased risk for developing nasty intestinal bacterial infections. I don't always, but I have sometimes, taken my probiotic at the same time as my antibiotics, and I was doing some reading this morning and figured out i'm not supposed to do that. Oops. I feel like such an idiot.

And, of course your doctor and your pharmacist both told you how to take the prescription correctly! :P:D (said sarcastically)

I always read the inserts with the prescriptions, at the least,because the people who are supposed to tell us how to take them, rarely do.

Oh yeah, of course. :P And I read the inserts on both, and there's NOTHING about probiotics. Funnily enough, when my mom went to get the clindamycin, the pharmacist gave her a funny look and asked if all my doctors knew all of the meds I was on, as I'm on diflucan as well.

I also was told to eat yogurt, as that's full of probiotics, but I'm not sure what to do as I know it can have iodine, and I don't know if the painful underarm rash that looks like whitehead pimples is actually folliculitis or DH, which would be affected by iodine.

The yogurt is probably for the probiotics. So maybe you can just do the probiotics?

Yeah, that's what I've been doing....we're out of yogurt anyway. I'm terrified the clindamycin is going to kill me...luckily, I see my dermatologist in a few days and I can hopefully get answers.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi Scott and Knitty! Thanks for the answers! You are very kind! Let put it this way: 1.I am now confirmed seronegative celiac. My Last push gastroscopy concluded that there is no atrophy and everything is ok in that regard. 2. From diagnostics perspective so far i have done multiple intestinal TUS, Mr Enterography, Multiple wide spectrum blood tests, Normal gastroscopy, Push gastroscopy(duodenum and jejunum)., Multiple X rays,Swallow test barium....i mean the whole package... 3. from doctors perspective i am in touch with 2-3 gastroenterologist, immunology and rheumatology doctor and general physician...and with psychiatric doctor. My problem is that i am still feeling like "s$#&" EVERY DAY even now when i am on GFD and i am still losing weight with very little energy through day. When i lay down, i do not feel pain or discomfort but during the day i feel bloated, intermitten pain in abdomen(usually upper QD and around belly), discomfort throught whole abdomen and other parts of body and with very little energy. I am trying my  best to be 100 % GFD but i am on very light mediterian food diet. I am currently on gfd  13 months (with small mistakes) Currently i am on ppi 20mg in the morning, now drinking ensure plus because of muscle and weight loss. My diagnose procedure is now lasting almost 3 years and since then i have lost 13-15kg. Please but please i am currently losing my mind...is there anybody who is going through this kind of hell like me? What more can i do? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Matt

      Food Tasting Salty

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By nanny marley · Posted

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post
