I started having some heaviness on my right side back in April of this year. I fig'd I might have gallbladder issues or worse. It manifested later into lower back/pelvic pain and after two weeks of waiting the curiousity of all this madness got the best of me and I went to see my Physician in April. He did a DRE on me and said it was probably bacterial infect and found my prostate to be a little tender, but no cysts or blood or nothing. Earlier in Feb., of this year I went to the ER thinking my blood pressure was high(132/99)..The check-in lady told me that it was not high..I wanted to get checked by an ER Doc anyway, cos normal BP is 120/70 and the latter number just freaked me out..I freaked myself out on the way in and while waiting and got it up to a nice 205/152. Normally now 138/80. They did blood test on me once I got seen and all that..Everything normal..Except, I had low potassium, but I been eating Bananna's and stuff to get that back up to par. Hence, since then, all the way up to April. I was good(walk 3-4 days a week, watch what I eat. No smoke. No drankey...Even lost 40pds, starting from Oct 07-Apr 0 until this prostate infection mess. I tried the anti-biotics both Cipro and Doxycyclene..Cipro gave me bad stomach cramps and Doxy gave me severe nausea. Well, I left both alone and return to my natural care. Eating two buds of garlic a day. Chewing Organic Oregano leaves(Wow, they burn my mouth up), but, the natural is my comfort zone..I know a good bit about it. I've also done Bentonite/Psyllium sweeps on my colon for the last week or so and am now on my 3rd liver/gall flush. No more pelvic pain, as my prostate use to kinda hurt when I went to the bathroom. No more of that and I been taking an herb manufactured under the name BEEFENSE and another under Prostate Wellness, by URINOZONIC. I'm consistent and don't like to flip flop between to many makers..I'm now experiencing mild discomfort under my lower left rib cage. Its very sporadic and leaves after a few days or weeks and then returns and repeats again. I've been eating apricots cos I know they are good in fiber and diverticultis preventers. No blood in stools, no stomach pains. None of that and I did not notice a change in my bowel habits until, after those anti-biotics. Constipation, hard pellets, narrow, ribbon-like stools(All sporadic). Then, all of a sudden normal stools again. I did a day and a half on Cipro 500mg and 3 days on Doxy. I read that cipro can damage ya liver, after a full cycle(7-10 days), so I immediately left that alone. Hadn't read to much bad stuff about Doxy. Any ideas. I don't like to shoot Prescip meds down, but I'm wondering, if those Anti-Biotics didn't completely throw my digestive system off balance and kill the good flora I had in my digestive tract too. COS..I HAD NONE OF THESE ISSUES BEFORE. Could I be coming into something worse, does it sound like my bacterial infection never cleared, IBS, Diverticultis. I'm 36 year old male. Getting worried now..Any advice is helpful. Guess I'll go back for a GI's and colonoscopy in July-Aug.
