Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Cipro good for bacteria       #355408 - 02/08/10 07:59 PM Edit Reply Quote Windchimes Reged: 09/05/09 Posts: 581 Loc: Northern California Oh dear! I worked for the pharma company that got Cipro licensed, and was told that it was good for parasites. Sorry if I was misinformed, typical of pharma companies! Glad I am retired even if financially broke! -------------------- Senior female, IBS-D, presently stable thanks to Heather & Staff Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Cipro good for bacteria       #355413 - 02/09/10 05:19 AM Edit Reply Quote capricorn1942 Reged: 10/06/03 Posts: 248 Early in my ibs, I had flagyl prescribed for parasytes. It did not help.

Perhaps caused by something you ate before the test? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Ongoing Problem w/ Parasites       #355416 - 02/09/10 07:04 AM Edit Reply Quote jenny833 Reged: 11/05/05 Posts: 273 Im starting to think that too..just seems highly unlikely that i would have all these parasites.

Are you taking any supplements that might interfer with the test results? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Ongoing Problem w/ Parasites       #355419 - 02/09/10 08:57 AM Edit Reply Quote dragonfly Reged: 05/12/08 Posts: 1088 Loc: canada Which parasites are we talking here?

Are they worms? Bugs? what kind of doctor diagnosed you? Pets are sometimes a common source of parasites? -------------------- My website on IBS is www.ibshealth.com Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Ongoing Problem w/ Parasites       #355423 - 02/09/10 10:18 AM Edit Reply Quote DanaDivine Reged: 09/30/09 Posts: 95 If you think you really do have parasites, you might try an herbal remedy. They don't kill off good bacteria like some of the drugs the doctors prescribe. I did the parasite program on naturalhealthsupply.com. I didn't get any side effects.. just saw all the dead parasites in the toilet. By the way, do you have any pets? Cats and dogs harbor parasites, even if they've been "treated" by the vet.
