Re: Treatment for clostridium

[Guest guest]

Our DAN Dr. had my son take prevacid along with flagyl & amoxicillin

to combat clostridia. The Prevacid alters the stomach acid ph and

helps the medicines to work better and possibly help with the burning

on the other end. This was a 14 day treatment. I have seen Dr.

McCandless treat for 10 days then let the spores hatch (I think 4

days) and then hit them again.

We noticed some really nice gains after this round of gut bug

clearing. My son (2y/o at the time) also had H. pylori. I never

would have thought all those bugs were lurking in there until we did

the tests.

Good luck,

Nora
