I have just started treatment and I am on Azithromycin 500mg once daily and cefdinir 200mg twice daily.

Any thoughts on whether to take these meds with or without food.

Thought on preventing yeast buildup.

Should I avoid dairy products at the time I take the meds?

Also, concerning herxes. Should I expect to have one and how severe could it be.
Your advice and help are appreciated.

I already woke up this am with a slight sick feeling in my stomach.

TAKE WITH FOOD, unless you don't NEED your stomach!! [Razz]

Take a high quality probiotic. My favorite is Theralac. www.theralac.com

I personally avoid dairy. I found it was counter-productive when it came to avoiding yeast issues.

As far as not eating dairy with the abx, check www.drugdigest.com

Eat low carb and no sugar... little fruit.

Nearly everyone herxes. A few lucky ones escape somehow!!

WElcome!!! [Smile]
