Alright, I had a UTI a year ago. And it has came back. I don't want to waste the money to go to the doctor for 5 minutes this time. I can't exactly remember what he had me on last time but I want to attempt to treat this myself. I think it was amoxicillan, not sure though. Does anyone know what kinda of dosage to use, or what to use? thanks.     | ||

Antibiotics are nothing to play with. You should go back to the doc. He'll know exactly what dossage and more importantly how long you need to take it. Otherwise, the bacteria causing it will build up a resistance and they will reoccur the next time, you'll have to use a stronger antibiotic to kill them. Antibiotics are very bad on teh digestive system. You don't need that as a bodybuilder. You need to have a healty intestinal flora. You are probablly paying high dollar for supplements and/or gear so spend a few bucks and go see a doctor.

hey bro, bactrim ds bid/twice a day/ for 10 days, levaquin is also good can't remember if it's bid or tid though also 10 days. when is the last time you were on anti's-it's ok to take anti's for a reason and take them like they are prescribed. take all of them, if you take enough to start to feel better that's when your flori get's messed and and you get those super infection's then you have to go to something stronger, bad deal. go to www.drugs.com and they will have the doses for the lev. and bac., later ------------------ | ||

Stew Meat, are severe gas pains and diharrea (spelling?) signs that you have damaged your intestines and digestive system from antibiotics? If so, do you know if this is a serious condition and how is it treated? ------------------ | ||

Yogurt will help a lot. You need to replace the lactobacilus acidophulis that has been killed by the antibiotics. That is what is used in yogert cultures. But there are many other types of bacteria that make up the natural flora of your intestines. Those bacteria are what will help break down your food in order for you to absorb it. Bodybuilding and antibiotics don't mix. -Stew | ||

Stew is correct on both accounts. First don't fuck with anitbiotics unless you are 100% sure what you are doing as 1.)You predispose yourself to viruses and other diseases 2.) It can lead to bacteria that is resistant to the antibiotic in which case you can be screwed. Secondly if you do take antibiotics always take a good acidophilus supplement with it to replace some of the good bacteria necessary for digestion(your ass will thank you). |
