Watch the Levaquin like a hawk. I am convinced that all the anti-B's that I have taken in the last two years, both for EP and also for a very bad bronchitis, have screwed up my guts like nothing else. Right now I am a veggie creature by necessity (simply cannot eat red meat anymore) and I think I am that way because, in part, I have had so much anti-b's.

Right now I take the following:

Fennel (for my gut)
Echniacha (sp?)
Fenugreek
Tumeric
Bromelain
Saw Palmetto mix (with stinging nettle, etc.)
Lycopne

This "witches" brew has help me with my stomach and I think it helps the anti-b's. My EP is better but not gone. I think I have prostrate proplems that either came with the EP or came after. I am taking Flowmax to keep from having to get up multiple times each night.

Like I said, watch the "gorillia-cilin" (my new doctor's name for Levaquin or Cipro).
