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.

That information doesn't sound right to me. However, here is an description of
the drug.
I had Flagyl for giardia and the taste of it will immediately make you want to
vomit... ;-))
Seemed to work though. This was a long time before I knew about CS. I would
certainly try
CS on it if it was me. I've never heard of CS interfering with any medication.

GENERIC NAME: metronidazole
BRAND NAME: Flagyl
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Metronidazole is an antibiotic effective against anaerobic bacteria and
certain parasites. Anaerobic bacteria are single-cell living organisms that thrive in low oxygen
environments and can cause disease in the abdomen (bacterial peritonitis) liver (liver abscess), and
pelvis ( abscess of the ovaries and the fallopian tubes). Giardia lamblia and ameba are parasites
that can cause abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea in infected individuals. Metronidazole
selectively blocks some of the cell functions in these microorganisms, resulting in their demise.
PRESCRIPTION: yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 250mg, 500mg.
STORAGE: Metronidazole should be stored at room temperature and protected from
light.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Metronidazole is used to treat giardia infections of the small intestines, amebic
liver abscess and dysentery (amebic colon infection causing bloody diarrhea), trichomonas vaginal
infections, and carriers of trichomonas (both sexual partners) who do not have symptoms of
infection. Metronidazole is also used alone or in combination with other antibiotics in treating
abscesses in the liver, pelvis, abdomen and brain caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria.
Metronidazole is also used in treating colon infection caused by a bacteria called C. difficile.
Many commonly used antibiotics can alter the normal type of bacteria that inhabit the colon. C.
difficile is an anaerobic bacteria that can infect the colon when the normal bacteria types of the
colon are altered by common antibiotics. This leads to inflammation of the colon (pseudomembranous
colitis) with severe diarrhea and abdominal pain.
DOSING: Metronidazole may be taken with or without food. In the hospital, metronidazole can be
administered intravenously to treat serious infections. Metronidazole is metabolized mainly by the
liver and dosages may need to be reduced in patients with abnormal liver function.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Alcohol should be avoided because metronidazole and alcohol together can cause
severe nausea, vomiting, cramps, flushing, and headache. Metronidazole can increase the blood
thinning effects of warfarin (Coumadin) and increase the risk of bleeding. Cimetidine (Tagamet)
increases the blood level of metronidazole.
PREGNANCY: Metronidazole is not used in early pregnancy because of potential adverse effects on the
babies.
NURSING MOTHERS: Metronidazole is not used by nursing mothers because of potential adverse effects
on the babies.
SIDE EFFECTS: Metronidazole is a valuable antibiotic, and is generally well tolerated with
appropriate use. Serious side effects of metronidazole are rare; and include seizures and damage of
nerves resulting in numbness and tingling of extremities (peripheral neuropathy). Metronidazole
should be stopped if these symptoms appear. Minor side effects include nausea, headaches, loss of
appetite, a metallic taste, and rarely a rash.
