anybody here allergic to antibiotics?

I'm not actually allergic but I usually get nasty YIs from taking them. What do you take if you can't take antibiotics?

Re: anybody here allergic to antibiotics?
The only one to date that has caused me a YI is augmentin. I hate that stuff!
Otherwise, I tolerate antibiotics pretty good, minus the expected nausea.

I've been told to eat lots of yogurt when taking anti-biotics. (Well, like, a few hours afterwards.) Don't know if that actually helps though, but it makes sense. Have you tried this?
To answer the question, though, I'm only allergic to certain antibiotics.
thanks everyone, I didn't realize how many different antibiotics there are out there (google is my friend lol)
I found some Levaquin in my medicine cabinet, maybe I'll try that.
Haha, maybe you should ask your doc before taking it. Different antibiotics are generally used to treat different things.
Unless it was prescribed to you previously for the same issue you're having now. But still ask first. 
Hope you feel better. And yes, there are tons of antibiotics.
Sorry, the medical professional in me is coming out! I really would NOT take any antibiotics unless instructed to do so by your MD. They could be expired or could interact with other meds you are on.
If you are sick and you truly need an antibiotic you need to go to the doctor to get the correct kind for the sickness. If you are finding something in your cabinent then it isn't probably a full course let alone the correct one for your sickness. If you only take part of a course of antibiotic or the wrong one it will come back with a vengence the second time, hence the running rampant of MRSA because of misdiagnosed or antibiotics given too much. Go see your doc asap and feel better soon!
I am allergic to certain antibiotics, but others work well for me. As for the YI, I used to be prone to them (got them every month before AF - sorry if tmi, but you asked! lol).
My dr. said to start eating yogurts often. That was 6 or 7 years ago, and since I've made yogurt a staple of my diet and I've only had one yi in all that time!
