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.

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?

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.
