Poor Tauta - these ongoing cases can be very frustrating! Ercefuryl is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial overgrowth in the bowel - where bacteria develop too quickly due to poor balance of good bacteria/pH/undigested food, they then ferment the food preventing normal digestion and producing a foul, often gassy diarrhoea. It can be helpful to transition to a highly digestible diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic or gastrointestinal, as well as adding probiotics and some additional fibre to promote the good bacteria in the bowel. Pancreatic enzyme supplements can also help imrpove digestion and allow the bowel to recover. Some patients also develop an inflammatory bowel reaction also and may require natiinflammatory medications also. Biopsies and blood tests for b vitamin levels can also be helpful if cases which do not respond
