Flagyl is a rough drug to be giving any one, let alone someone as stressed as
she. Down here it is used only for the worst parasites, which are plentiful
during rainy season, which is now
Most of the parasite victins down here are in pretty good shape otherwise, in
relatively good health except for their houseguests.
It's so rough I know people flatly refuse to take it because of its known
toxic side effects, which do not affect everyone. I would not administer it
casually, no more than absolutely necessary, and watch for negative reactions.
(Sorry I don't know what they are, other than extreme intestinal distress.)
I'm in southern Mexico, the almost tropics.

Flagyl, or Metronizadole is an antifungal medication given to eradicate
yeast overgrowth after receiving antibiotics. She probably had antibiotics
before during and after the surgery and now is having to take the drug you
mentioned. some MDs even give it prophylactically along with the other
antibiotics. It like anything else has side effects and interactions but I
don't think the CS will interact with anything. I have never had a problem
with CS killing good bacteria and I don't ever recall anyone on the list raise
any more than a passing concern about this.

I have a dear friend who has been diagnosed with Clostridium Difficile
or C-Diff. She has been prescribed Metronidazole to kill the bacteria. I have
given her two quarts of freshly made CS today with a strength of 12 ppm's. Her
question is how much should she take? Will it interact/react with the
Metronidazole?
Will the CS kill any of the good bacteria she has been trying to
replace with probiotics?
This appeared after she had a colonoscopy. Apparently she picked up
this bacteria after the procedure. She is having a very difficult time
recovering and the Metronidazole is acting like chemo and making her extremely
ill.
All suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
