Can i eat cornbread or other foods made with milk while taking doxycycline?

Good question: Doxycycline may have a somewhat limited absorption when taken with calcium or iron containing foods, because it will 'chelate' or bind to those minerals and may not absorb quite as well. Ideally, you could take the doxycycline with a full glass of water, THEN eat 30 min or so after that... There can be nausea as a side effect though, so you might need to eat something to help with that.
