Flagyl - Side Effects - Bowel Disorders Message Board

I was prescribed Flagyl for a suspected parasitic infection (250 mg. three times per day for 7 days) back on August 23, stopping August 30. To this date, September 5, I still have a chalky white tongue, metallic taste in my mouth and dry mouth. I took 500 mg. for a prescribed round a few years ago and think I remained with symptoms of nausea two weeks after I stopped it.

Has anyone else who has taken Flagyl had this occur and remain for almost one week afterward?

P.S. My hands are also a little "shaky."

It will flat clean out your gastrointestinal tract of both the good and bad bacteria---and give you a yeast infection that is BAD.

You have a Candida Albicans --yeast infection --big time. The white tongue is thrush and it goes all the way to your colon.

Start eating a good brand of yogurt and take PB-8 at bed time. Probiotica that is put out by the makers of Imodium and sold at Wal Mart is also very good. You have to replace the yeast with good bacteria!!!

Also, limit your sweet intake ---yeast thrives on sugar. There are also some candida killers availale at your health food store.

God Bless---Harry

The yeast in your mouth needs to be treated so call the doc and get something for that. You mentioned having nausea the last time you took Flagyl for 2 weeks after the medication. ANYTIME you have any side effects from a med be it nausea, dry mouth or whatever you need to report this to your doctor so they can note this on your chart for future refernce. Many times they can prescribe something else if one drug causes problems for you. Follow Harry's advice as well as calling your doc for something for the thrush before it makes your mouth to sore to eat. Good Luck.

Raw garlic is also really good at killing unwanted organisms (it’s virtually impossible for anything to build immunity to raw garlic. Garlic supplements don’t do much. Since allicin kills all living cells too much garlic is bad for you because it also kills your own cells.). Grapefruit seed extract is also really good at killing unwanted organisms. Unprocessed Aloe Vera (preferably from the Aloe Barbadensis Miller family. There are over 240 different types of Aloe Vera families) is also really good. You definitely want to replace the good bacteria in your body and you also might want to look into a product called Immunolin. Immunolin is supposedly the best product for replacing antibodies in your digestive system (I never tried it so I’m not sure how well it works but I read message boards with people who tried it and most people report very positive results. It basically gives the body massive amounts of antibodies from cows that have antibodies much bigger and stronger than our own antibodies. These antibodies then search the body for any destructive organisms and attacks them. They are very smart because they don’t attack good bacteria they only attack anything destructive. However you don’t want to take Immunolin with anything that might kill these antibodies; ex: garlic). For more information on parasites and garlic read my post on parasites.
