No Antibiotics

10 Replies

I decided today to not take any Antibiots. I needed a day out free from the dreaded Loo, but tonight I had to resume the A and yes 20 mins and on the Loo. I just can't believe after all the research into friendly A I now know there isn't one, I give up, I will have to resign myself to having the Blinking D for the next 4 days, I don't even know why I am bothering. They can't be working. Sorry all just having a rant Fed up.😣

Hi Blue most good pharmacies have them. They're usually kept in fridge. It's the dr udo's range ur looking for but the "super 8" is the one I found very good

Why do you take antibiotics ? They are for infections

Have you tried the FODMAP diet it seem to work for a lot of people or tried eliminating food groups one at a time from your diet, such as dairy

Hi Cricket, I have a toothe infection so I am trying to take them, I have had IBS for years, so I now know what to eat and not, but Antibiotics will kick my IBS off . Fodmap diet isn't for me, as I can't eat a lot of things. But thanks anyway.

Oh - sorry I didn't realise and you hadn't said

Also sorry about your diet

There is lactose in a lot of tablet medications so that could be the reason for the attacks

That's ok Hun I should have said, yes the dreaded lactose, the Doctors and Dentist look at you as if your mad when you say sugar lactose free.

I try at my very best not to take antibiotics from the doctors and I always argue with them because my stomach side effect become worse than the initial problem. I take colloidal silver (natural antibiotic) depending on why you need the antibiotic it can also be treated naturally. I did a post of food poisoning and listed all he natural products. Taking lots of probiotics is a fantastic idea! Make sure it's free from all the allergens. I buy mine from iherb (use the link on my website for USD$10 off)

Al the best
