I take florastor in the morning and before dinner.  I take the rifampin in the morning with breakfast. Then the azithromycin at lunch.  I've noticed if I don't eat enough it can upset my stomach a little.  I also think if I take any other medications with this one it upsets my stomach...but haven't proven it yet(and probably won't).  Then I take the ethambutol with dinner.  I think sometimes if I eat too many greasy foods it gives me pains and lose stools for awhile.  I've been on it for just over 2 weeks so my body was also still adjusting I think too.  I'd ask the pharmacist and if they don't have suggestions I'd ask the dr or another pharmacist at a different place.If she's not on a probiotic I'd definately get on one.  Could take awhile to help.  Also eat yougert. Good luck.<br>

Hello Jhharoni, a VERY nice response from jilnc. We have some wonderfully supportive people on our Forum!

The only thing I would add is when you have time .. try to read through the past posts on our Forum. You will find various methods that various people have tried. Every person's body reacts differently .. so different methods work for different people. Your mother is very blessed to have an advocate like you on her side. Lucky her! Remember that we are here for you and for her on the next part of the journey .. keep coming back! Katherine
