my friend, ann, says she cannot take antibiotics anymore.
they have destroyed her colon and they are saying they may have to take part of it out.
the doc said it was because she took so many antibiotics.
she is very scared and has told me to be careful with any antibiotic.
sooo, can you actually damage your colon/intestine because of all these antibiotics? i am having watery diahhrea at least 3-4 times a day and i'm taking tons of probiotics but they don't seem to firm up the stool at all.
is there anything else i ca do to firm it up?

Assuming you have been tested for C. diff...you might try some psyllium, the brat diet, or CMS. Check into leaky gut syndrome and L-glutamine.
Be certain to always eat something with your meds. If all else fails, it might be the meds you are on that just don't agree with you.
Also, with this issue, be sure to keep the fluid intake up and have your electrolytes checked.

Tell your freind to do some research on HBOT and the Colon. There has been success in treating intestinal problems.
If you would like some links or research you can bring her e mail me privately at [email protected]
