What do you have?: Metronidazole (flagyl) is a well-established anti-bacterial agent that has many GI and non-gi indications of use. What's the bug in question, how was it contracted (exposure risk, origin), how diagnosed, what are your symptoms, and wha't been tried before starting flagyl? Happy to help, and we can help you better, if we have more information.
