I've been on flagyl and cipro from time to time and while some improvement is noticed early on, most of the improvement comes much later......for me. So, I suggest you hang in there taking the meds as prescribed and even wait a few days to a week after you finish the course of meds to see how you are functioning. Meanwhile, I also suggest you prepare for the leakage and/or seepage by wearing a pad in your underwear and using a bed pad while sleeping. I purchased waterproof crib pad material from a fabric store and had them cut to the size I wanted them. They were flannel and waterproof. Also, washable, which made them very practical to use. I also wore pads to bed and changed them throughout the night as necessary. Hopefully, this will be a temporary need and everything will even out for you. Your B.M. frequency seems very, very reasonable!
