I know how you feel! I have a rather long list as well. You need to work with your doctor to determine which groups you are allergic to and which you are not. Such as penicillin derivatives, the mycin group, etc. And since you seem to have urinary tract issues, be sure to urinate frequently (keeo your bladder empty), maybe drink cranberry juice regularly as well as eat yogurt daily. Good luck!

Also garlic is excellent, its nature's penicillin. When i take it (as a tea) within 30 min you can smell it in your urine and know its killing every bacteria in your gut and urinary tract. They sell it in capsules at health food stores or in 16 oz containers in the spice section at grocery stores.........

Many people have allergies related to penicillin and it's derivatives like amoxacillin. Usually doctors prescribe an sulpha or a cephalosporin antibiotic in these cases, such as k-flex/cephalexin among others.

Since you are prone to urinary tract infections (U.T.I) and kidney infections you should maybe ask your doctor about an antibiotic called "Ertapenem". It can be used for uti's and other infections from gram (-) bacteria. There is another one that usually kills the same type of bacteria as Ertapenem called "Cefoxitin" (I think thats how to spell it). Maybe even "Imipenem" could help.

I would ask your doc about those 2 antibiotics. There are alot of doctors that do not know every antibiotic by it's name so they might need to check on thier computer first.
Hope this helped.
