Weight gain

I would suggest you either stop antibiotics altogether and try fermented foods, or, perhaps try a macrolide, such as Erythromycin.Originally Posted by ariC

All antibiotics alter gut flora, but doxy in particular is known for inducing more problems, including weight gain in some people.

Yes, I had the same experience and am about 5' 6" and 130 pounds. I finally went off as it quit working. I saw a naturopath to get my gut back in working order. That included a myriad of things including probiotics. No circles under my eyes any more!

I am sorry to hijack the thread but I wish someone to tell me why my posts (new thread) do not appear in the "new post" section. I posted 2 new threads yesterday, one in the general section and another one in the meta-forum section to ask about this very problem. None of them have appeared in the "new post" section.
Thanks for helping me.

I've just tried again and it worked.
