Re: Antibiotics and the diet??--to Leigh/Cammie

[Guest guest]

Thank you both so much for your help!

Leigh, Thanks for taking the time to actually " search " for my

answer. Are their any good websites for finding out the info on

meds, or did you just do a general search for trimox? What book do

you have from Hopkins?

Cammie, I can't believe your dietician actually gave you a list of

meds with this info. I tried to get my dietician to tell me which

over the counter med for congestion had the least carbs and she

wouldn't even do that. She said I had to go buy one first, THEN she

would tell me the carb info.?! By that time we ended up with an ear

infection, so I never made it that far. I asked her for an info

sheet like you have, but nothing doing. This is really

frustrating!!

You both have been a huge help and I appreciate it. At least now I

can rest easy and know that she isn't getting anything extra that

she shouldn't. But, as was mentioned, she is more sensitive to meds

than most kids so you bet I'm keeping a close eye on her.

Thanks again!

Our book is really just the standard notebook/reference guide they give you when

you initiate. I'm sure you have something similar or better. It doesn't seem

like our meds list is that great. Our pedi. even said that he wished they would

just give you a list with the meds/antibiotics they would you prefer you to

prescribe.

Hope they princess is feeling better! 's eye is all cleared up!

Leigh,

We didn't get a standard anything when we initiated the diet. Our

keto team is not great to say the least!

Glad to hear 's eye is better! It's a great feeling when

they are feeling better no matter what they have just recovered

from. I hate to see kids sick or uncomfortable with anything, but

they sure do bounce back quick! Princess " A " is doing better. She

has more energy and she is walking great. The antibiotic has kicked

in and now we just have to ride it out to the end of the meds.

I agree Leigh. The list that we got from Hopkins looks like it is 60 years

old. I agree it would be great to have a list that said if you need an

antibiotic choice 1 is A choice 2 is B, etc. Rather than a list of all them

meds.
