Default Antibiotics, OTC pain meds and Atkins

Hi all

I can't seem to find any info on how antibiotics affect my low-carb?

My Dentist said that I should at the very least increase my carbs if I am not going of LC completely.

Then again I have had bad luck with doctors and I don't trust them too much.

Basically, I have a root canal that the filling fell out of and the tooth got re-infected (ouch!!!). Anyway I can't have the work done until this infection clears up mostly, so I am stuck with antibiotics (amoxicillin) and pain meds (2 advil, 1 tylenol every 6-8 hours).

Does anyone know how this will affect LC?

I know its more a question I should ask the Dr but I did leave a message ....they just take forever to get back with me. And I can't afford to see the Dr just to ask him that because I just blew my all the $ I had seeing the dentist & paying for meds since our health insurance got cut.

Anyway...any comments, suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Annett
