What you were going thru I am now and have been for over 2 years. I also was told I had inflammation but was offered no help. My exhaustion is overwhelming. And the dizzy and headaches get worse all the time.
My name is Key Phillips and I am in Arizona.
Can you please tell me exactly what has helped you? What Antibiotic was used. I will refer this to my doctors.
I would truly like to discuss if possible,

Thank You
Key

Taking anit-biotic on an empty system was a start. I am allergic to Pennicilian, which was their first choice. 4 days of anit-diarrheal. Two weeks of anit-biotic. That's it. It may not work for everybody, but it did me. I uo use Metamucil on a daily basis. Use more powerful anti-diarrheal theoretically. If needed. But have not.

CBD oil at night only helps me sleep. That's a big part too. Insomnia nearly killed me.

I have a Penicillin alertgy, so I
was prescribed Sulfa Methazone, or someting like that.
I reacted to it immediately. Badly.
So the Doc switched to ....escapes me.
Does it matter? Let Doc choose an anit-biotic.

Also took an anti-bacterial. I remember that name but hesitate to be specific.
There are many. All this followed a total gut purge to nothing, as preparation for the colonoscopy. I think the new drugs hitting a totally empty system was part of the deal.

Good luck. I'm at week 5 since and still so much better. Not 100% but approaching. I'm 75, after 4 years LC, so 100% normal is an unknown state to boot.
