Today, I'm getting over strep throat. The antibiotics they gave me make me have diarrhea unless I eat yogurt in between each pill. That wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't lactose-intolerant. Yogurt gives me really bad gas. So I have to choose between painful gas or diarrhea. FML

One, I do take an enzyme to help me break down food. It's called Similase. Both acidophilus (sp?) and lactaid don't work for me at all. I've tried. Two, even if yogurt doesn't have lactose in it, it doesn't change the fact that it gives me very painful gas. Three, my mother won't take me to get soy yogurt. Four, I would have asked the pharmacist for a substitute, had I been the one picking up my medication. Unfortunately, my mother didn't realize the problem when the pharmacist was explaining the "eat some yogurt to help with diarrhea side effects" part. Five, whoever said to get a different pill is obviously not good in this area. Most antibiotics can cause diarrhea and the only way to get rid of the strep bacteria is to take antibiotics. So really, I don't have much choice about the pill. Just some clarifications. Thanks. :)

Gas is by far the lesser of the two evils. Would you rather go through a roll of toilet paper in 2 hours, leaving you with a sore ass and a raw rectum from all the wiping, or amaze your family and friends by playing some of their favorite jazz tunes with your flatulence?

You're so original. I hadn't gotten that suggestion 2783928 times. And I hadn't already said my mother won't go get some. Thanks, I'll take that into consideration.

Darling, try lactose free yogurt. It's usually less expensive than regular yogurt anyway. And if you're lactose intolerant you'll probably end up eating the rest of it anyway because the one I have (Yoptimal) is really good. This is probably too late though. (It's not SOY yogurt, it's lactose-free yogurt)

Shoulda saved your money Antibiotics do nothing for strep throat because strep is a virus and you can't cure a virus with antibiotics
