I need help with tolerating MAC antibiotics please

@sayaboleh My understanding is that you shouldn't take the calcium close to the time that you have taken the antibiotics. I would imagine that means give it a good few hours in between???? However that again can be another professionals opinion. I am not on antibiotics but have read this about calcium when thinking about starting the antibiotics.
I would think it means avoiding diary and calcium supplements.????
If you have a visit with Dr. Zha are you going to clarify all?? She is highly thought of and I and probably others would like to know her entire thoughts if you do ask.
Hard to change over to new tastes but in time they sometimes aren't so bad...hope the flavor with coffee some how changes to "surprising I now love it". Ha.

My next appointment is not till next March but she does respond to MyChart and has called me once. I was planning to bring it up with Nick when I see her next month but if I start the Azithromycin before then I will definitely bring it up with the pharmacist.
Yes, I can see from the many posts mentioning Dr Zha that she is highly thought of, and having interacted with her several times, I can't agree more. I had a very difficult time with the pulmonology group about 10 years ago before she joined them and eventually found someone else at Stanford. When she told me that she was starting a BE clinic, it seemed to make more sense to see her instead when I tested positive for kansasii.
Will definitely share her responses on this if I have the opportunity to speak to her. It doesnt seem like a question for Mychart.
