Allergic to multiple medications

I forgot to add, I had a surgery last year and the surgeon added an antibiotic to my IV. I had no problem at all with that medication. At least I know there is one out there. Today my family doctor told me that there isn't any antibiotics she can give me and if I am doing poorly, I will need to go to an ER. She told me that they can do IV medications if necessary and I would need more than one trip.

When my primary doc was having trouble finding an antibiotic I could tolerate for an infection after reacting to several others, she consulted with the Advising Pharmacist in our clinical system. He has been the best source for us.

Because you tolerated the iv drug, I wonder if the issue is not the antibiotic itself, but the capsule and/or the fillers used? My sister-in-law does not tolerate any drugs (or foods) with red dye added. I can handle the original brand name version of some meds, but not the generic subs. My Mom and a friend of mine only were able to use brand name Synthroid, no generics...

This would be a puzzle for an allergist specializing in meds - maybe within Mayo or another big multidisciplinary practice?
