Have a question. My PCP wants to prescribe Zithromax for my upcoming oral surgery. I can't schedule until I'm completely over my bronchitis. They (Oral Surgeon's office) said it could compromise my immune system otherwise. That's why I'm going through my PCP as he knows my medical history and how I react. My PCP is willing to call in the meds for me as we don't have dental coverage.
The Pharmacist told me that with IBS, all antibiotics will or can pose an IBS problem. To her knowledge, there is nothing I can take or do to avoid another possible attack. Is there "anything" that will help prevent an attack? I have alternating attacks (when I have any attacks) but the ones that send me to the hospital are the IBS-C.
Also, they want to give me a pain med and I'm hoping for insurance purposes since I do have medical that my PCP will be willing to call in a prescription for that too. I get horribly sick on pain pills so I won't take them. I have to be in bad shape to do so. There has been one in the past which is Percodan. I would think that at the most, I would only need 2 pills for that.
I couldn't find any info on Percodan...are you sure the spelling's right? Anything based on opiates will be constipating and any NSAIDs will tend to cause tummy problems, so you might want to discuss this with your doc.
The best thing to do with antibiotics is get some extra probiotics (so for you, a mixed probiotic will be best as now you're only on a single strain one), follow the diet very strictly and keep taking your SFS. If you take the probiotics for a while before and after the antibiotics course as well they'll work best. And make sure you space the antibiotics and probiotics doses through the day so the antibiotics don't kill the probtiotics immediately.
