That's really interesting! I'll keep that in mind. So far though I've been taking all of mine in the morning with breakfast and it seems to be working really good. I don't have any diarrhea from it. Of course, I had all of my colon removed from colon cancer when I was 38 and I just had a part of my small intestine removed from small bowel cancer a couple weeks ago, so my stools are a bit looser than most people's anyway but I haven't had any big problems yet with the meds. I've only been on them about a month maybe? And what's strange is that he only put me on the azithromycin and ethambutol , not the other one but he is going to be putting me on an inhaler with medication. I'm not sure why he didn't put me on the third in about it. I'll ask when I go in and see him, but I see an infectious disease doctor. I appreciate the chip in case I do start getting any sort of sickness or diarrhea. Thank you!!

We have Colon Cancer in common! I had Stage 3 @ 32 and had my large intestine and 18” of my colon removed . I also have Multiple Sclerosis. I was wondering about the diarrhea but knew that I will double or triple my Limotil (an unbelievable Rx for diarrhea for those that don’t know) and that the Limotil will knock that out. Duke told me at 32 that I could not outlive Stage 3 and that it would come back as either lung or liver cancer. I also have Multiple Sclerosis. Because of my compromised immune system I believed that MAC was due to MS. I did have some lung nodules removed after colon surgery. Did you have any lung surgery with colon cancer? I read somewhere that post surgery can also lead to MAC but my lung surgery was > 20 years ago.
