Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 , Perhaps some good probiotics might help... Good luck~ New Behaviors Since Antibiotics-Help! Hi, My child has been exhibiting some new behaviors since the time he was on antibiotics about a month ago- He is stimmy (like never before): rolls on the ground, touches textures, flails his arms a lot, flaps, pushes against surfaces, seeks pressure, puts things in his mouth. They go up and down and keep coming back in full strength when I think they are fading. I am using yeast medicine- Candex, 1/2 capsule/day. We are on GFCF. I'm also mid-way in indroducing enzymes so some contribution may be from that. Any insight as to what is going on? Severe gut imbalance? What should I do to help him? We could focus and do a lot of stuff until recently. Now it is such a struggle. I keep feeling that there are foods he can't tolerate (despite the 90 IgE testing). He has faint dark circles under his eyes but sleeps well, through the night and has a nap. Thanks a lot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 , Just my 2 cents, but I would really up the yeast protocol. 1/2 candex will not do it most likely. Whenever my daughter has to take antibiotics, I double her probiotics during the entire time she is on the antibiotic. She was even on one last wek for an ear infection, and I doubled the probiotic, and we saw no problems. We have had the same problems you are seeing in the past, and it has always turned out to be yeast caused by the fact that the antibiotic kills both go and bad bacteris.--Tod > > Hi, > > My child has been exhibiting some new behaviors since the time he was on > antibiotics about a month ago- > > He is stimmy (like never before): rolls on the ground, touches textures, > flails his arms a lot, flaps, pushes against surfaces, seeks pressure, puts > things in his mouth.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 , Look for a dairy-free probiotic. S S I will be retrying probiotics later this week. The results of a GI panel<br> should come in tomorrow. Hopefully I will have a better idea of the trace<br> minerals needed.<br> <br> We aren't chelating yet, still fixing the gut. Is the hand<br> stimming/flailing, finicky hands and fingers an outward symbol of bacteria<br> toxins (he has parasites) or/and heavy metals?<br> <br> I'm curious about one thing- the dark circles have appeared only after we<br> started the CF diet followed by GF. They weren't there before. Does it mean<br> new sensitivities or sensitivities that were latent before are in the<br> forefront?<br> <br> Thank you very much,<br> <br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thank you, , and Tod. Tod, will 1 capsule/day of Candex be a good start? My son weighs 37 lbs. I hope to start probiotics this week. On 8/9/06, Tod <tod_s_2000@...> wrote: > > , > > Just my 2 cents, but I would really up the yeast protocol. 1/2 candex > will not do it most likely.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yes, that would be a good start, but you definitely need to start the probiotics as well. Candex is just an enzyme that will eat the cell wal of the yeast, but it will not poplulate the gut with the good bacteria needed to balance things.--Tod > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > My child has been exhibiting some new behaviors since the time he > > was on > > > antibiotics about a month ago- > > > > > > He is stimmy (like never before): rolls on the ground, touches > > textures, > > > flails his arms a lot, flaps, pushes against surfaces, seeks > > pressure, puts > > > things in his mouth.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thank you all very much for the responses. We are still struggling with the new behaviours but I have a better idea. GI testing showed yeast and pathogenic bacteria along with super low sIGA (mucous is dry). -He needs enzymes which I am using (Houston and Enzymedica) -Getting started on Probiotics (Klaire brand) -I have increased Candex but I don't think it is helping. This afternoon he was still being silly and laughing. Any other suggestions? - I will be using some stuff (NAG- N-acetyl glucosamine and Carnosine-Zinc) at the suggestion of the nutritionist to heal the mucuous layer. Has anyone experience with this?

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hello - For low secretory sigA we used Kirkmans colostrum (it is suppose to be casein free). A CDSA will show you what susceptibilities any of the bacteria/yeast have - and then you can choose whether it be precriptive agents or natural agents. Alkaselter GOLD ( a bi-carbonate) will help neautralize the toxins and help the probiotics survive. A pre-biotic such as FOS powder will also help the probiotics survive the journey and repopulate. Best of luck! Mommy Boy <mommy.boy@...> wrote: Thank you all very much for the responses. We are still struggling with the new behaviours but I have a better idea.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thank you . I will look into the colostrum. I didn't know a CDSA can show which medicines may be effective, alas we did another test that did not give that information. How should I time the AK Gold with the probiotics? Do you have a preferred vendor for the FOS powder?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi - We use Nutra Flora FOS from Now. We give the alkaselter GOLD one hour before he eats (half a tab). We also give ButyrEnâ„¢ (butyric acid) by Allergy Research Group/Nutricology, Inc it is a short-chain, fatty-acid, dietary supplement in the form of an enteric-coated formulation of calcium and magnesium salts of butyric acid (2 tablets crushed, 2x daily, mixed in food). It supports the integrity of colonic mucosa by acting as primary fuel for the colonic epithelium. It is normally produced by colonic bacteria, Best of luck!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 ___,,,^.~.^,,,___ What kind of antibiotic was it, ? --------------------Was it a quinolone class?------------------------------- Quinolones (according to the pharmacy drug interaction insert sheet) will " form stable coordination compounds " with any divalent metallic cations. In some sources I have found these compounds referred to as chelates, but the antibiotic contains no sulfhydryl groups. The sources say that it is the bacterio-active aryl group which binds the metals. I don't know if this is a correct usage of the term " chelate, " and I don't know how strong or persistent the compounds are. Perhaps they just mobilize and redistribute the metals. Although I have found no research reports studying the quinolones' interaction with mercuric ions and no word of any warning about this, I think it is wise to consider any suspicion of mercury intoxication as a contraindication for quinolones. Stick to third generation macrolides (mycins) or cephalosporins unless you're dealing with anthrax, staph, or some other resistant superbug. And, oh yes, quinolones DO cross the BBB to some extent according to the research papers I've been able to find. ---The Cat Re: [ ] New Behaviors Since Antibiotics-Help! Thank you. Patrica.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hello there, (CAT The antibiotic was Omnicef (tradename). I don't think it was a quinolone but am not enough of a chemist to say that. http://www.rxabbott.com/pdf/omnicef.PDF Would you be able to take a look and confirm? If it is a quinolone and can redistribute metals, the scenario is scary.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 , We are GFCFSFCornF, preservative and food color free, all organic, sugar free except for honey and fruits. He does eat crbohydrates with enzymes. I need to look beyond Candex and oregano oil, looks like we are not making a dent in the yeast.
