Cipro Questions

Seems I'll be on cipro for a while. Anyone else have blurred vision and difficulty sleeping? The doctor pretty much said deal with it as this is the most mild of treatment options. I'm working with the sleep issue and relying on glasses more than I used to need them. I'm wondering if there will be permanent vision impairment?

Also wondering about cipro killing off the good bacteria I'm trying to get through Florastor and goat milk kefir? Expensive supplements only to have it killed off by cipro. 

How much yogurt/kefir do you consume? I was at 32 oz kefir/day, but have cut back to 16 oz at most daily now that things have settle down. Plus the kefir seems to cause a fair amount of gurgling noise and some bloat/pressure that leads to more trips. I'm starting to look at consuming less and/or spreading it out more, but timing is a bit difficult since I take cipro 2x/day.

Last, the guidance on hours before/after cipro before consuming dairy are fuzzy. I'm trying to have the kefir 5 hours after and before each cipro dose. How do you time your cipro?
