Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 If the Vermox is toxic to K, can I give her the activated charcoal to help mop up the mess? Jenn & Kali 7 months scd vermox intolerance? > Jody, > I was reading about all the different kinds of worms a person can get from playing outside in the dirt etc. and decided to give K the Vermox. I know it took me a week to try it for her but, I wasn't feeling good about it and after her first dose she was ok for about 6 hours and now she cannot hold anything down. I do not want her to have worms but, I fear this med. is too toxic for her. she just isn't tolerating it. She was throwing up all night with no other symptoms. I'm sure it could be a coincidence but, she does not do well with most meds. antibiotics etc. Does it sound like a reaction or intolerance to you? I am so afraid to make her worse. I found out that pumpkin seeds(not scd legal?), black walnut extract, garlic and GSE works well for killing those worms off. I may think about doing it a more natural way with foods, supplements like this. I just don't want the worms to get out of hand. What would you all do?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Jenn, I would call the doctor's office and ask about the reaction to the medication. I can't give medical advice. I would find out if this is a common side effect that goes away in a day or so or if this is something to really be concerned with. As for the natural methods, I don't honestly know how effective they are. I know that GSE can be very hard on the system. My husband took it and he said that he did not feel well, but he did not actually throw up. According to some sources, GSE kills both good and bad bacteria, yeast too. So, you will have to make sure and get the good bacteria back into her if you use the GSE. I'll also tell you that even 1-2 drops of in an entire glass of water can be very powerful in taste. So, be aware of that. I also think to be effective the garlic has to be taken fresh and raw. I'm not sure how you get that into her either. Did you look up " Vermox side effects " on google? If not, that's probably the first thing I would do. I wish I had the magic answer to this situation. Unfortunately, I don't. The only thing I can say is that if I knew my kids had the worms, I'd have to find a way to get rid of them. I know that's where you are right now- just trying to figure out a way to do it.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thanks Jody. Yes. I will be looking some stuff up today. Kali will eat Garlic steak with her dad maybe 3 nights a week. I would only give her 1 drop and I know how inportant to put more beneficial bacteria in while we're dumping all the bad. Thanks for understanding. I will be searching for some answers for these pinworms. Greatful to be here! I couldn't imagine what problems we would have been having with her if we never did scd.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi, Jenn, When I gave my son his first dose of combantrin for the pinworms he threw up the next day and had diarhea also. This is a side affect of that de-wormer and when I gave the follow-up dose 2 weeks later, he had no reaction whatsoever. I would not hesitate to use it again, if necessary, at a later date. Hang in there! Donna, mom to Norman 6yo SCD-13mos.(ASD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
