I sometimes cannot eat enough meals while still still taking everything and having enough time to take the artimisinin on an empty stomach.
Here is what I am on:
mepron: (with fat and starch 2x/day) artimisinin: empty (2x/day) biaxin: with starchy food multivitamin: with starchy food milk thistle: ? calcium/mg/vitD: one with multivit and one again at bedtime with yogurt and probiotic
other meds that I take whenever, don't really worry about food/no food 4 pain meds, nexium, nystatin pills, atenolol, hydrocortisone
Mainly wondering is artimisinin has to be on empty stomach? Can I take the biaxin with one of the doses of mepron? Can I take the probiotics with the other dose of mepron ( i know you cant take probiotics with antibiotics, but mepron is not an antibiotic?) I remember doxy can't be taken with dairy or vitamins, but not sure about other meds.

I never took ART on an empty stomach. Didn't know i was supposed to!

no one said that about the starchy foods, I just get really sick if I take meds without a starchy food like pasta, rice, bread, potatoes.
I was on atkins about 7 years ago, and my dr suspected lyme. he gave me a huge bottle of doxy, probably a month or more worth. I remember one morning eating shrimp and grapes for breakfast and puking on the side of the road. My tests came back negative, and he said I didn't need it, so I stopped taking it. I regret it now.
I tried a few times taking these meds without starchy food and got sick to my stomach. I am hoping I wont be on these meds for life, I really want to get back to lowcarb. This hi-fat hi-carb diet is killing me.
