ear infections / antibiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

We had a lot of trouble with an antibiotic a little over a year ago when

treating strep. We gave what we thought was okay amoxicillan. We now

believe we were given a generic substitute that contained gluten. You might

check to see whether that's the case.

We stopped treating ear infections a couple of years ago. Now we monitor

them, taking the kids in to see the doctor to make sure they clear up, and

treat them with Motrin. So far, they've all cleared up just fine on their

own.

Best,

Snyder

That may be the case. He did OK on the same Rx in Oct, but it was a

different pharmacy (we're away from home) so who knows what we got.

We has had some serious rages (way beyond his worst tamtrums to

date), including in the middle of the night last night, and this is a

kid who has for months been very calm, few tantrums, very compliant--

all since we went GFCF, etc.

I stopped the Amoxicillan and I am giving the garlic and mullien oil

in the ears as recommended by Amber. I also got a homeopathic cold

medicine and will continue the motrin. We have an appt. with a new

Dr. who uses lots of hollistic treatments next week when we return

home, so I will get his ears checked again then.

Thanks for your help!!
