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
