I was wondering if you take the andrographis and Japanese Knotweed(Resveratrol) with food or on an empty stomach.
My stomach didn't tolerate antibiotics well at all.
Thanks for the input. Ann

just to be safe, i have to take everything with food. i do space them apart from my blood pressure meds tho.
key is to start very slow -- right now i'm only taking 1/2 of a pill of the andro and resveratrol, then i'll work up.

I am on andrographis and have a sensitive stomach ( am also sick of the side effects of ABX ) .
I started out with two andrographis capsules a day ( standardized from Planetary Formulas ) . The first few days were rough. I have been about ten days and had my first decent day today - the herx symptoms did not lay me out flat . I have increased my dosage to four capsules a day .
I want to get used to the andro before adding resveratrol ( knotweed) .
I also take the herbs with meals as I fear having nausea if taken on an empty stomach . ABX taken on an empty stomach made me queasy . Others here take the herbs with food .
I am encouraged by the reports I have read about with this approach and with rife. It is a blessing to have some options other than ABX . I have read so many posts written by people on ABX for years who are still relapsing , so I hope a multi faceted approach will have some success .
