Well, here I go again

I just left to GI doc's office, and my SIEBO is acting up again, so he put me on a Low Fodmap Diet http://ibsdietplan.org/the-low-fodmap-diet/

FODMAP Stands for "Fermentable Oligo, Di- Monosaccharides and Polyols

and gave me another round of antibiotics, this time he wanted to try something different, so he put me on neomyacin 2 times a day for 10 days $:-\$

and after I 'm done with that he wants me to start erythromycin ethylsuccinate 200mg/5 ml oral suspension for 30 days with a follow up appointment, I sure hope this stuff works

I did however get a cuckle and some laughs outta my GI-doc, when I ask him THIS

"gee doc do u think this is due to eating too much ass, and he said no, you got tummy bugs, but u don't have those kinda bugs...LOL

15 yrs of diarrhea and being told it's AIDS really makes me MAD after all these yrs. dam doctors

Can you elaborate? I'm unclear what you are saying.

My GI doctor is saying all of your diarrhea isn't caused by AIDS or some of your meds , it's form prolonged
misdiagnosed chronic GI- disease that you've had for a very long time, I still have AIDS tho....

Oh, OK -- I read it the reverse way, but thought it had to be meant as it was not related to HIV.

Hey Dennis,

Well, you managed to come up with a diet that is more difficult than mine!

Good luck with it. I know it won't be easy, but you can do it.

HUGS,

Mark

Wow Dennis, I hope this is finally the cure you've looked for. Have you considered a butt plug in the meantime?

Thanks everyone for your support

I hate antibiotics, I'm on them @ least 3 to 4 times a yr. due my little buggers in my tummy, hell, I probably couldn't even get STD's from unsafe sex even if I tried real hard.....ya think

denb45 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 14, 2012, 10:42:21 am »

Just thought I'd update everyone.....I just started the Erythromycin Ethylsuccinate 200mg/5 ml oral suspension, YUCK, that stuff is NASTY, it reminds me of liquid NORVIR
and makes me wanna PUKE, guess I'll get used to it soon enough

after the 10 days of Neomycin tabs, I still have diarrhea, so I'm still shitting my brains out

but, here's some good news, I've lost almost 12 lbs

was 197 lbs, now I'm way down to a very slender 185 lbs, if I keep losing more weight, something isn't right
down in the gut $:-\$ I'll keep everyone updated as to how well this new medicine works $:-\$

Hey...can you mix that nasty tasting stuff with anything to make it taste better?

Well on the bottle is says to "Shake Well" I guess I didn't do that, I never reads labels
I've never been a fan of any type of liquid medication , and being sick to my stomach most of the time
it just makes you feel like crap, and you don't wanna do much of anything, feeling like that

bear60 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2012, 01:43:16 pm »

I was thinking of mixing the nasty stuff with juice or milk or something to get past the taste. I dont know if thats possible but I remember mixing Crixivan with something.

Joel..... the Erythromycin Ethylsuccinate 200mg/5 ml oral suspension is suppose to be taken @ bedtime, and the dosage is only 1 and 1/2 mil-liter's outta a syringe orally ...

I guess I'll be on this for very long time according to my GI-doctor, so after time, I'm sure I'll get used to it , I hope, it's suppose to KILL all the bugs, and stop the bloating, gas and diarrhea (so he says)

I hate to bring this up Dennis but I think it's worth a try. Have you ever tried taking the calcium citrate oral laxative to COMPLETELY clean out your guts?

This is why I suggest it. 20 years ago I got a new partner & got amoebiosis. I asked the partner, he said he had it, was treated but his guts were never the same again. He was better, but never got completely rid of it.
I ate lightly for a few meals, took the calcium citrate once, had the runs for a few hours, and was completely normal after that. I ate lightly for a few meals after the laxative & drank copious fluids to get rehydrated. I pray that something works for you. Hugs, Deiby

Probiotics, Yogurt, and the like, just don't work on me, I just poop them out in the form of diarrhea, when all the guts bugs ( or most of em) are gone, I get somewhat of a relief from the runs @ least for a few weeks

Until they come back again, I don't always have diarrhea, but when I do I REALLY have it.....I've gotten use to this viscous cycle after 15 yrs. I think it's part Long term AIDS & GI-disease..

( been on Meds for 25 yrs. non-stop since 1987 when AZT 1st came out), and I've NEVER had a drug holiday, doctors didn't agree, maybe I need one $:-\$
