Levoquin antibiotic

It is in the family of antibiotics as Cipro. It is constipating for most of us, because it kills so much bacteria in the gut. Increase your intake of fruit and juices if you're feeling constipated.

I have not taken thus but take Cipro ongoing and it always slows down my output and thickens my stool. I actually feel like I have a colon (well almost) when on it. How did they diagnose your sinus?

I have been sick for allergy sinus stuff for 7 weeks. Had sinus surgery 2 years ago. Sinus by X-Ray looked horrible. This is third round antibiotic, 2 shots double doses of antibiotic and steroid. Still sick. Cough stuffy. Frustrated.

You probably don't want to hear this, but chronic respiratory disease s associated with IBD. Usually, this is lung and airway disease, but sinus involvement has also been identified. It is more associated with Crohn's than UC.

Connie's son Thomas has battled chronic sinus infections for over a decade and it took many years before they made the connection.

No doubt. I had ulcerative colitis for 18 years. My colon was rotting inside out and outside in. I have had a happy j pouch for 11 months! But also have an adrenal gland problem. Fibromyalgia and arthritis. Autoimmune system is not good. I know the good, the bad and even the ugly. Getting one thing fixed, ie my colon out, has made weak tendons rupture, sinus go haywire, and adrenal malfunction. Oh well. I treat symptoms and conditions as life throws me more curve balls!
