Per the pharmacist, I should not consume dairy products while on one of the two antibiotics. And in reading the drug summary paper, both on what I got from my discharge papers and what I got from the pharmacy, there was no mention. And reading online I get disparate response from, “it’s fine” to “not for 2 hours before or 3 hours after” to “absolutely not”. In reading about the method of action, it appears it attacks the cell walls of the bacterium (neat), but will also do the same for dairy products decreasing the overall effectiveness.

Due to other warnings, I’ve stopped all vitamin intake (one multi, one for my eyes). The other one, has the strict warning of no, absolutely no alcohol consumption. This is also fine, as I stopped drinking when I broke my arm, since my body still needs to heal from all that.

The dairy though. Generally breakfast is Yogurt from Radiance Dairy, very low sugar granola and a mix of formerly frozen strawberries and blueberries. I will often have dinners that include or are based on cheese. Coffee, usually includes milk from Radiance Dairy, or another one, since I don’t want to aggravate my stomach to much. So we’ll see how I do. Shannon has swapped to oat milk, already so I’ll be able to free ride off of that previous change in her diet.

I’m supposed to be on a soft food diet, whatever that means, so I’ll do my best to consider how things should break down. So no meat pieces, but ground should be OK. I’ll avoid spicy items

We have some credits donated by my wonderful co-workers (Thanks all!), so I’ll plan to make it easier to figure out how I am. I’ll attempt to go back to work tomorrow. I’ll make some accommodations for Shannon, cause just cause I’m in a less then desirable food place doesn’t mean she has to be.

Sausage (case free brats)
Egg, Sausage (case free), English muffins
Ramen, Veggies and Eggs
Bison Burgers (saw these in the freezer looking for something else)
Peanut Butter and Jelly Melt, maybe just toasted, since butter will probably be better, but, avoiding.
