Suggest Diet Plan When On Cipro And Flagel

I had bad stomack pains and went to my doctor. He said I have diverticulitis. He put me on cipro and flagel for 14 days. I have very little appetite and feel tired and nauseous. What should I be drinking and eating for the 14 days that I am on this medicine?

Hello
Ciprofloxacin also produces nausea , G I discomfort , so also flagyl ( metronidazole ).
First of all keep one thing in mind that both drugs you can take in combination and don't take on empty stomach i.e. after meal take first dose and after dinner 2nd dose .
When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take pnataprazole-d twice in a day on EMPTY STOMACH.
This will ease nausea and vomiting caused by these drugs .
Since you mentioned that you are also having loss of appetite so take a combination of cyproheptadine=tricholine+sorbitol ( 2 hours before meal ) ,as this will improve appetite.
But take full course as advised your doctor .
However frequent milk in small quantity , say 4-5 times ( quantity should be less every time ) also decrease feeling of nausea.
Hope this will help you.
