Biaxin and crap

I've been taking Biaxon XL for the past week for strep throat. It has given me terrible nausea and diarrhea for most of that time. Called the doctor, but they claim there aren't a lot of antibiotics that treat strep and they won't give me anything in the penicilin family because I once had a rash. At this point I would risk the rash to not feel like crap.

I am being treated for H.Pylori. I am taking 2 Biaxin 500mg ea. along with 2 Prevacid, and 4 Trimox. The treatment is called triple therapy PrevPac a 14 daily treatment pak. Biaxin is DISGUSTING! The after taste is HORRIBLE! After day one, I was ready to give up on my treatment. It is worse than anything I've tasted in my life! NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING helped me take away the taste. I can't sleep at night due to the lingering, bitter taste in my mouth, and during the day, I indulge on food to wash it down. That sh*t taste is indestroyable. I am even thinking to taking all the other pills in the treatment and just skipping this crap! I am only on day 2 of this and still 12 more days to go. Biaxin is beyond nasty. I'd rather not treat my H. Pylori for that matter!
