Natural and Alternative Treatments - A Holistic Approach In Medicine
I had the stomach flu (gastroenteritis) a week ago and now I have terrible acid reflux! I’ve never had it before and it won’t go away. I’m taking antibiotics for something else right now and I’m not supposed to have antacid medicine. Any home remedies??
My stomach is a little upset because I haven’t been eating probiotics when I normally do every day (because I’m on antibiotics.)
I’m wondering if I can eat some Activia while on the antibiotics or if it would negate the effects…
the antibiotics are for a bladder infection, not sure if that matters.
Thanks! :]
I’m taking up 500mg of Antibiotics (Amoxicillin) thrice a day for a week. After the 3rd day, Ive been feeling a little upset in the stomach… Ive read that Antibiotics not only "kill" harmful bacteria but also the good ones such as those found in GI tract responsible for properly digesting food. So I was wondering if I could drink Yakult while on Antibiotics… or would the antibiotcs just kill the shirota strain?
About a week ago I developed what I think was some kind of flu. A few days after getting sick, I got an ear infection. I had planned on riding out the sickness on my own until the ear infection. So I called my doctor and had him call me in a Z Pack (Zythromax).
I’ve finished the antibiotics, but my ear still feels clogged. There’s no pain at all, just a clogged feeling and muffled hearing out of that ear.
Does anyone know of any kind of home remedies that could help me out?
The past couple of weeks i started taking probiotics, but have been developing skin problems, cysts and blemishes. Know that antibiotics are often prescribed for acne issues and wondering if the probiotics could be the cause?
I took some antibiotics (azithromycin - sp?) a few weeks ago and now my son, who is nursed, has VERY loose stools. Could the antibiotics I took have passed through the breastmilk and affected him? maybe probiotics would help him? He’s had loose stools for a couple of weeks now… I asked his doctor, and he didn’t seem concerned, but its loose enough to come out the sides of his diapers, which is very annoying.
I have had a yeast infection before that cleared up with OTC meds. I was on antibiotics for a UTI about a week ago, and the Dr. said it may cause a yeast infection. Now I’m experiencing itching and burning, but no odor and a thick, yellowish discharge. I think it might be a yeast infection, but when I had one before I had the typical cottage cheese-like discharge, and this is different. Also, can you treat a yeast infection while having your period?
i need to get rid of this, and i need to know what are some things i can do to subside the symptoms, or make it go away. im on antibiotics and they gave me a yeast infection, and i already took diflucan but it didnt work. its DRIVING ME CRAZY AHHHHH someone please help?
Putting it to the food, water or milk doesn’t work.She does not even lick them.
Giving it through her mouth as in usual way does not work.She crawls like crazy and bite your finger off.
She is the most impossible cat I’ve ever seen to give medicine.But she has got to take those antibiotics! Would you have any different idea? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
I am taking "acidopholus", which is apparently a probiotic… I’m wondering what it’s actually doing? And why is it not harmfull? Because I always see in grocery stores in the meat signs that say "made without antibiotics", and I am wondering that why if we get antibiotics, is it a bad thing to put in the meat?
Also, what is the difference between them?
Thanks :]
My daughter has a bad ear infection and a horrible cough with bad chest congestion. The doctor prescribed her some antibiotics for the ear infection, a stronger antibiotic than she’s taken before, its called Cefdinir. I was planning on giving her some Robitussin cough and cold medicine to help her, but I don’t want it to interfere with the antibiotics and cause a bad reaction or something.
Thank you!
I’m an RN and for several reasons, I am deciding on a new career. I am still deciding between the two schools of thought & wanted some nonbiased views.
*to the person who said homeopathy is wacko, that’s not possible. Where do you think antibiotics came from?
I am 10 weeks pregnant and have a sinus infection and started taking Amoxicillin last Wednesday and now I seemed to have developed what I am assuming is a yeast infection(extreme itching). Is this normal to get after starting antibiotics? And what can I do for the yeast infection beings I am pregnant?
I have had acne for 6-8 months due to a nose picker touching my face who has a history of cancer. Help, I think the little maggots have laid futures in my pores. I have tried all remedies, including doctors with antibiotics. Nothing works. Acne is a disease, could this be something like a plague, because it has damaged my life?
I am 37 years old, and I have been on numerous antibiotics in the past year. I get sick with colds, etc a lot. A friend of mine recommended I take probiotics every day to get the good bacteria back into my body. When I went to GNC last night, they told me I should take the 50 billion one. Is that too much to take every day? I don’t know much about this product, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
