Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi, everyone. I am fairly new to enzymes and I have not posted any results (positive or negative) because our 3 year old son is having a major gut bug issue right now and we just can't seem to get a handle on it (which is why I am writing to get your opinions). Matt had Clostridia overgrowth and yeast. We gave him a 10-day course of Flagyl and he improved a bit after only 3 days on it, but then on day 4 or 5 went back to his old ways. Then we started the 18 day course of Nizoral (we are on day 11) and again, he slept ok for a few days and then went right back to not sleeping and the spaciness (which had not gone away) came back in full force. So, I'm thinking we must have some other bug. His belly is hugely distended (still, despite all of this), and he is not pooping regularly at all (I have been giving him suppositories every couple of days to keep things moving). I am wondering if he has Citrobacter, but I am not sure what this is or the symptoms it would cause. Also, Matt has occasionally been getting red ears about 1 hour after eating (despite a rotated diet). I am concerned he may be reacting to the enzymes -- this happened after a while when we used the Kirkman enzymes. When I stopped using them completely, the red ears vanished. Last month, we started the Houston enzymes (very slowly) and watched for red ears, but all seemed fine until about a week ago. He gets the red ears but not after every meal. I am wondering if he is reacting to the mold used to make the enzymes (he is allergic to molds). I would appreciate any thoughts you have on any of this! Thanks! Wishing all of you the best for 2002!
