I'm currently on Biaxin, Flagyl, and Mepron, so needless to say, I have a horrible taste in my mouth and my stomach feels terrible.
After choking down my dinner last night, I honestly don't think I can eat veggies right now. I normally love veggies and eat well.
But now I am completely turned off of food, especially healthy food. The only things that are appealing to me are sick-person food, like toast and oatmeal and scrambled eggs. That and anything sugary or unhealthy (i.e. chips) sounds awesome.
I just inhaled a brownie, at 10 in the morning. This is really not working for me! What to do?

I can definitely relate to the feeling sick to the stomach from the various med's and not having most food appeal.
Can't say that I've felt like things like brownies either though.
I have been drinking one of the green health drinks to get my green vegetables in me. (Nano Greens)
Since you are on abx, try to watch out for the sugars and wheat since it will backfire with the yeast. I know...easier said than done, but it really does make a BIG difference.
I drink a lot of ginger tea to try to settle the stomach, but I still haven't found the magic bullet to help.
Hopefully someone will come along and give us great pointers on how to get past the sick feeling of the meds.
I find myself gagging these days quite often just from the mepron and it actually didn't bother me in the beginning, so not sure why it's acting up now.

Sometimes your body is trying to tell you something. Although not eating veggies is not a good thing.
Last year I had a spell when I would get dizzy and crave something salty. I would go home and start shoving chips, etc into my mouth. The next time I had bloodwork done, it showed that my sodium levels were way down. Now when I get a craving for something salty, I give in.
Can't do that with sugary stuff though
