Re: Re: Hitting a really rough patch

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

My dd has alot of OCD issues also,they come and go.We did an oat test and

came back with yeast and bacteria.Doc wrote a script for nystatin which was

working,some die off symptoms but

2 weeks later scripting,ocd,stimming alot.Is Flagyly an antibiotic?Doc saw

that bacteria,but only wanted to treat 1 thing at a time,so I thinkthe

yeast maybe dying but the bacteria is taking over

does that sound right?Anything OTC to compare with Flagyl in case Doc will

not write the script?I have been giving lauricidin,which makes her throat

sore,she has had strep in past,olive leaf and caprilic ,and yeast aid which

has alot of biotin in it

Thanks

theresa
