eating for nausea on antibiotics

chicorychicory Raw Newbie

I have no choice but to go on a 3 to 6 month stretch of a specific low dose antibiotic. (kidney infection that won’t heal) Doc said it only works in urinary tract, very unlikely to cause candida, and won’t wipe out good colon bac. But the nausea!!!!!! I have never abused antibiotics, but the last couple times they make me sooooo sick. Ginger does nothing for it. Anyway, I am supposed to take it with a very starchy food to quell the sickness, but don’t know quite how to do this on a raw diet? What foods are the easiest on the digestive system when vomiting/stomach irritation is present?

  • Have you tried bearberry (uva-ursi)? It is one of the most powerful herbs for kidney infections. It has a few precautions though (nowhere near as bad as antibiotics), so you may want to read up about it. There are some very powerful alternative procedures you can choose from. Have you tried seeing any holistic health care practitioners?

    my infections are caused by a functional disorder related to my MS. diet can help a little, but they will keep coming back the rest of my life. Antibiotics are kind of my last hope. I have had this kidney infection for about 5 months now. It is almost to the point where i may have to go and stay at the hospital for a while. (I have been taking bearberry… no luck)

    do bananas help? they are very starchy to me. be sure to take a probiotic.

    sorry to hear you are so sick. take care of yourself.

    i take a probiotic twice daily.. bananas constipate me so I don’t want to eat too many

  • I’m sorry to hear that. Don’t give up though. Their are some honest people out there studying cures for many diseases including MS. I’m sure you will find something to help ease the symptoms at least. I just read this [article] about a woman who cured her MS eating a daily serving of seafood.

    Fish may not be an option if you are vegan, but I’m sure that you could get the same benefit from blue-green algae and sea veggies. I’m sure that you’ve done a ton of research already, but don’t lost hope.

  • Also, I swear by homeopathy for symptom specific cures and I have benefited from many of the remedies firsthand. If nausea occurs during your course of antibiotics, try posting your symptoms at [ABCHomeopathy].

    They are a great community and are very dedicated to helping people. You may be able to ease or even cure some of your symptoms through homeopathy. My heart goes out to you, sincerely.
