Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hi Michal, > My son has not an ear infection or strep throat in so long and ofcourse over the weekend, he got a pretty bad ear infection. ... he had two small pee accidents. .....and pretty out of it. I know I have to finish the antibiotic (omnicef) People have reported peeing accidents when they are going through die off. Antibiotics will cause die off also. This may also explain why he seems " out of it " . Epsom salt baths may help if it is antiobic induced die off. Are you using any of the yogurt or probiotic? If yes, make sure you take it seperately from the antibiotic. About 2 hours before and/or after. Some good bacteria may help protect his GI tract. (Some doctors now advise patients to eat yogurt or take probiotics when using antibiotics).

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Dear Michal: The artificial colors and flavors in the antibiotics could have caused it. There is a high concentration in medications and the Food & Drug allows certain artificial colors to be added to medications that are not allowed to be added to food. The Feingold program materials states that artificial colors and flavors causes daytime incontinence in some children. Next time you can ask you pharmacist if there is a local pharmacist who can make the medication in the pharmacy and leave out the artificial colors. Good Luck, Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
