Hi there!

I have been looking all over (failed to chat about this with the ND on Thursday/ask yesterday.)

What group of drugs is affected by aacA, aphD? This tested positive on an analysis I had completed recently.

I may have worded the question incorrectly.

Thanks for your help,

Melissa

do you take medication?

There have been several studies done looking for answers to this question.  Here are the results of a search which provided information about some:

Quoted from Lola

do you take medication?

Lola - I was taking Allegra D (took allergy meds for quite some time) and stopped about two weeks prior to doing the stool sample (replaced it with Quercetin supplement.) Before that, I was on Prevacid or other PPIs for roughly seven years straight, yet had been free of them for about four months.)

I do not take pain medications either, not even aspirin. Nothing.

I WAS HEAVILY medicated as a child and young adult. As a child and adolescent, I was on almost weekly antibiotic doses for chronic sinusitis. I also took allergy meds (antihistamines, corticosteroids - inhaled and PO, brochodilators, etc.) for most of my adolescence and young adulthood. I took 600 mg of ibuprofen for about three years four times a day as a teenager due to my chronic headaches. What a mess. I became antibiotic resistant and even developed an acelulitis WHILE on this one strong antibiotic/antifungal. (My pediatrician was a pharmacist before he attended med school.)

I was just wondering what group of medications this is linked to.

Thank you,

Melissa

Thanks ABJoe!

I found those too and now I figured it out - what a brain I have.

They are sulfa/sulfate drugs. This makes sense. These have made me have reactions in the past.

Oh my! I have always had reactions to any sulfa med also and suffer from sinus issues.
