Well, that post was from 7 months ago - it had already been quite a while since my last round of Flagyl. I THINK that's because I started on a new probiotic regimen about a year ago, and it has worked pretty well up to now (I take one Primal Defense Ultra in the AM, and a Culturelle at night). But I have been gassy as hell at night for weeks now, and I finally decided to bite the bullet. I'm taking 250 mg of Flagyl twice a day. That's the lowest dose - sometimes it doesn't work. I have 500 mg pills (I tell my PCP that I need 500 mg x 3 day, so I have extra hanging around), and I choose how to use it. Always 10 days, and as I said, I try the lightest dose possible to start.
And I want to be cleared up by Thanksgiving - including to drink (if you don't know, please be aware that drinking with Flagyl can have VERY unpleasant side effects - like drinking with Antabuse). 2 days down, 8 to go.
I will also be curious to see if it helps with the bathroom issues I've been having - my morning routine has expanded to 3-4 hours of pooping, and still not feeling "done" - followed by uncomfortable "need to go" moments during the day that produce next to nothing. I just realized I only went poop twice this morning - this is a great sign!
