Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Has anyone used GSE to help their child while on antibiotics? Our nutritionist suggested adding this to our son's regimen whenever he goes on oral antibiotics. He already takes Probiotics. He still had an awful time with yeast during his last round of antibiotics though. She felt GSE would help. Would love any feedback on this.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 What is the dosage on GSE? I have some - never used it because my son was sensitive to citrus and when his UC was active, I didn't want to chance anything. I'd like to try GSE with both kids. What is the dosage? I have a 4 yr old and 15 mo old. Re: Grapefruit Seed Extract Hi, I have been using Grapefruit, lemom, lime and tangerine mixed seeds for years. It is wonderful. Never knew of a reaction. alice Deb Millard wrote: Has anyone used GSE to help their child while on antibiotics?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Deb, My son's doctor always recommends taking an anti-fungal (nystatin, diflucan, etc..) at the same time and after taking the antibiotic. Thought you might want another option. Another thing, if a child needs to have an antibiotic due to a cold it is better to give in shot form versus oral because it will not go through the digestive tract.

Also, if the antibiotic is given due to a cold you might want to give it IM (shot form) versus oral so it won't go through the digestive tract. This helps to avoid yeast.
