I am being treated for Bart for the first time. (I saw a great LLMD for four years and was on abx, but he never targeted Bart. I have been seeing this LLMD for 6 mos...after a 2-year remission.)
I was on Rifampin and several others; my LLMD likes to rotate meds. I have lost 20+ lbs and am fairly petite to begin with. It's not so much that I have lost my appetite OR that I am restricting my diet (not as much as I should), so I too have been concerned.
I'd love to know others' thoughts.
