Re: IBD and metronidazole

[Marylyn]

It did with Mai Mai for a while.  The increased fiber did more good though.  Just thinking...what would happen if you added a pinch more fiber to her diet?  I have no idea why I am obsessing on the fiber issue but I am.  I am learning to listen to the unknown and pass it on therefore I never have to wonder if I should have.  What you and she are going thru is awful.  I went there with Mai Mai, Ebony and Kitty.  I know you are doing everything in the world you can think to do.  Listen to your heart and to her.                                                               If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 5:15 PM Subject: IBD and metronidazole another question-- I was doing some more research on IBD (basically re-reading, since I think I have researched it so much I have found everything out there) and was reminded that metronidazole (flagyl) can be helpful with large intestine IBD and colitis. I originally had not thought it helped Lucy, but the last time she got a really bad flare-up, at the end of June, I did give her metronidazole for a week along with 10 mg/day of pred, and she did get a lot better.  So I just started her on it again now. I am wondering if any of you have found it helped with IBD or colitis?   Thanks, Michelle
