Hi been on Rifampin for about 4 days now (150mg). Has anyone not been able to tolerate Rifampin because of the diarrhea? Lose stools at first now diarrhea.....will my body get used to it? Not sure whether to discontinue it as my LLMD is out of town with no on call person. Please help!

Are you taking high-quality probiotics? This is very important. If so, you may need to take more.
Since I started taking prescription VSL#3 DS (double strength), I have not had any problems. You may want to ask your doctor about this.

I don't know much...... but I am on Rifampin for Ehrlichia and I take 300 bid.
I had diarrhea once and learned thee hard way. Now I take aloe vera juice, drink coconut kefir, and take Ultimate Flora critical care 50 billion now. You can get it at whole foods.
My doc had me on a lower dose of probiotic and it wasn't cutting it at all! Now I am not having that problem at all!
