Well you may have seen my post 2 weeks ago tlaking about the tough time on Rifampin? anyway the situation progressed into a major GI issue....which is my first in 19 months of treating.

The GI issue as well as the anxiety Got so uncomfortable i finally called my LLMD. She has placed me on 2 week holiday....which is also a first....i guess for now i am happy....

any thoughts?

Enjoy your holiday [Smile] I think I was on tx about 19 months when I took a holiday away from them.
Unfortunately my symptoms all started coming back within the first few weeks.

Are you going to be taking herb/supps still or a holiday from everything?

Hey Dave I am in the exact same boat. Had to take a break due to mysterious abdominal issues. Drink tons of lemon water and good garlic supplements to clean things out in the meantime.

Bummer too because I could eat Rifampin like M&M's and it helps me a ton. You?

Toppers,

Was on the Rifampin for 5 weeks and it was all pain no gain...not sure what to make of it...
