As usual, I'm trying to figure out what's making me sick. Several factors are involved. I raised the dosage of my thyroid medication due to lab work, I took Diflucan and had eaten so much sugar to try and get through the past couple of weeks, and I started this medicine.
Has anyone had an allergy to this med? Last night, I was up all night sweating. I have a migraine, I'm stuffed up in the nose, but I also took Diflucan the night before and ever since then I've been sick. I've had diarrhea several times. I should say I was already sick, but I got worse.
I see flu like symptoms can be a side effect. Anyone have problems with it?

We spoke a while ago about gut issues. I mentioned my success with VSL#3. I recall your own experience was different & bad, and I have been pondering what could have gone wrong to produce that effect . Were you taking capsules? If so, that could cause what you described: because a capsule or a pill sits in one place and dissolves, and possibly burns holes in intestinal tissue,i.e. like ibuprofen can cause an ulcer. My success might have happened due to that I take my VSL in powder form (from a sachet), mixed thoroughly with water before it goes down. That is all I can think of.
Actually while having diarrhea (or just right after) is the best time to start VSL, because all the bad bacteriae went away along with your good stuff, during the Diflucan. Now is the time to repopulate the gut, right after diarrhea. The VSL will send in its' big guns to knock out the leftovers from the gut clean-out.This is how VSL can take over a gut population, because its sheer volume of 450 billion active cultures per sachet just outgrows what's left behind after the diarrhea clean out. Now that my gut has become "almost normal" again, I'm sure the VSL #3 's ingredients are doing a good job putting back what should be in there, in good proportions. OR, if you are absolutely opposed to the VSL, maybe try another probiotic combo {that you can first mix with water}. And yes, Diflucan is
Notorious for
causing diarrhea! ... Such bad diarrhea as to be fatal in very weak patients.
I guess the last thing I see in your post, is that you consumed "so much sugar" trying to get through the weeks. I don't berate, but you & I both know that sugar will destroy your gut almost immediately. So let's try to back off on that crap; me too.
I'm wishing the best for you. Keep in touch.
