any help out there would be appreciated! I am now on antibiotics for my 3rd bout of acute bronchitis in 9 months (zithromax)....i am also on a heavy duty cough med, an inhaler, just started birth control pills again to help with a ovarian cyst, and my usual anti depressant and xanax.....I feel like #### still and my stomach is beginning to go insane on me. Anyone have any ideas to help me get back on track after all these meds? i can't have yogurt (no dairy) and have tried several different forms of "gut bacteria" supplements but they just end up making me so nauseous I can't function. Oh and I don't smoke and have never had enviromental allergies or asthma...so the docs aren't sure where this is coming from...grrrr like they ever help!!thanks, Melissa
sick again!!!

Sorry that you aren't feeling well. I don't know where the lung stuff is coming from. The long duration of the lung illness should have doctors looking deeper into what is going on. Have you been tested for C-diff?

Oh and probiotics never work for me either, are you nauseous all the time? My doctor ended up giving me a script of Phenergan for nausea. I also take Darvocet because it relieves my pain and has the added benefit of constipation. My life has been given back to me with just a few simple scripts. I hope you'll feel better soon.

HiI don't have help on the IBS part except maybe plain old acidopilous - although maybe you already tried it. But on the lung infection - I went through this last fall. The Zithromax did nothing for me. That ws form my regular doc (no exam, over the phone). I laster saw the walk in doctor at the practice about a month later and he had me amoxicillin. He said that the zithromax isn't all that great for this although a lot of doctors use it for chest infections. It and the inhaler did seem to help. I spent the month prior wheezing, rattling and coughing. And missing a lot of work. Unfortunately, I did have have some IBS consequences with the amoxicillan but the lung problem cleared up.nancy
