A member asked:
Can i still eat sweets such as chocolate and cakes whilst taking flagyl for d.fragilis? if so do i have to wait between doses before consuming sweets?

Not a good idea: From the point of view of the antibiotic, yes you can have sweets and cake. From the point of view that the Flagyl is treating an infection, it is best not to take sweets when you have an infection. It would be OK to take occasional sweets or chocolate. If Diabetic take none.
