So I had another appointment with gastro. I should also mention that I had all possible tests done in the past to exclude any other serious condition. I told him about the diet and how I thought giving up dairy actually helped me with C a bit. I don't think he really believed this (he seems to be very result-oriented: I tested negative for lactose intolerance, hence I should have no reason not to eat dairy). Well, after I told him about this he suggested I try Activia yogurt to see if my bloating and pain get better! Like I haven't tried that - I used to eat Activia like nothing else prior to giving up dairy! So no thanks . Anyway, although I tested negative for parasites he decided to put me on Flagyl to see if I get better. When I asked why do that since my tests were negative he said that basically lets treat me as if they were positive. Well, isn't that the main reason to do these tests - so that we don't have to assume? I really don't know what to do about this Flagyl - I did a search but I couldn't really find any relevant information. Some people said they took it but all seemed to have different reasons (mine are bloating, pain, and a negative test). Anyone here got better (or knows someone) on Flagyl? Did the symptoms come back? I really don't know what to do. I am hesitant to take yet another antibiotic (I had 2 sinus infections this year so had to take ATBs for that) since I don't want to mess up all my good flora again.
