Re: Ear infection/antibiotics and regression - Help!

[Guest guest]

Hi Annette,

My son went through something similiar over the winter. This is what I

have learned (for what it is worth). Diflucan kills yeast (not

bacteria), probiotics help crowd out the bad bacteria, but does not kill

it. Taking an antibiotic kills bacteria (throughout the body)....what

you are seeing is die off (from the bacteria). Your son's symptoms are

very common for kids going through bacterial die-off. My suggestion is

to get some activated charcoal in him. It will help flush the bad guys

out. After taking the antibiotic make sure he takes lots of probiotic to

supplement the good guys back in there. You may want to do a stool test

two weeks after the last day of the antibiotic. Just to make sure there

isn't anymore bacteria in there. If there is you have the option to

treat it naturally or with another antibiotic. (remember...if you have

bacteria in the gut and only treat the yeast...the yeast will die off

and the bacteria will grow because they don't have to compete for food)

There is also the possibility that your son may be allergic to something

in the antibiotic (especially if it is a commercial antibiotic and not

from a compounding pharmacy). Commercial Pharmacys use fillers (corn),

dyes and aspartame that can really wreck havoc on our kids sensitive

systems.

If you choose to stop the antibiotics (most ear infections clear up on

there own....but it's miserable to watch). Ask you doctor to prescribe

Rx ear gel that contains benzocaine (to numb the pain). Works like a

charm.

Also, I have learned that while chelating you release viruses. Some

viruses are attached to metals. Some metals are attached to bacteria.

There is always the possibility of detox when you treat

yeast/bacteria/metals. I have had great metal pulls just from using

diflucan/augmentin. Especially aluminum, tin and lead.

I know it's difficult to see your child go through this. Hopefully he

will have a quick turnaround. Some children have significant gains

after being put on antibiotics (just remember the probiotics after:)

Hope this was helpful....Good Luck

could you or anyone make a recommendation for probiotics...preferably chewable

or powder. I used to use Solaray Multidophilus powder a long time ago, but was

wondering if there is anything better?

thanks, Nahla

CocoBiotic, a tasty beverage with live cultures

of l. acidophilus, is a new product for us and we

love it. Expensive at $1 per dose

We have used Theralac for years and like it.

www.theralac.com

Expensive at $1 per cap or more.

====PS....I think you are doing the best you can, always...and

looking for the better ways. so much information and also so many

different opinions...I think these type of things are always very

hard calls to make. and can feel very overwhelming. there is also a

learning curve involved - while sorting thru which of the answers are

best for you & your child. and you, ultimately, are the person best

equipped to figure that out,yk?

year after year it seemed like every fall my daughter would get an ear infection

every year

It wasnt until I put her on a GFCF diet and started using Transfer Factor plus

Glutithione

and nutritional supplements where I started seeing a huge difference in her

ability to fight of

colds,flu,ear infections, and any other types of germs that kids seem pass

around quite a bit.

She has never had a ear infection since (she used to be sick for a whole

month)

She gets a cold now and again but the sick time is cut in half. She used to be

sick for two weeks now it is about one .

Her health is much better thatn it has been.

hope this helps

Antibiotics tend to cause yeast overgrowth, so it might be that.

At my house, ear infections were caused by yeast, not bacteria. So

giving antibiotics would just make the ear infection worse.

Check the ingredients of the antibiotic you are using, see if you

notice anything. For example, many antibiotics contain milk products

and artificials/dyes.

Yeast covers the progress and antibiotics feed yeast. Just keep on doing the

probiotics and maybe some yeast killers . . . We've all been there!

[ ] Ear infection/antibiotics and regression - Help!

I have done 13 rounds of DMSA/ALA on my 4 year old son. We see a

DAN and I follow AC protocol. My son has been doing really well.

We had a die off of yeast about three weeks ago and have seen some

great improvements.

This past weekend my son started getting sick. Monday I took him to

the Doctors and he had an ear infection and he was put on

antibiotics. Today he has seemed to regress. He has no attention,

won't look at me or answer me he is repeating things. I could cry.

I feel like I work so hard and then this happens. His preschool

teacher told me today was not a good day at all. She said this is

not the same little boy I know. She went from seeing a typical

little boy to now my ASD son. HELP!

Can someone please explain why this happens with antibiotics and

what I can do to help. I am giving him probiotics and Diflican

while he is taking the antibiotic. I will not be doing DMSA this

weekend since he is sick.

Do you guys give antibiotics to your children? Did I do the right

thing? I would love an explaination to why this happens

Any advice will be appreciated

Annette

I had a similar experience in May with my son. It took a good 6-8

weeks for him to get back to where he was. I was very determined NOT

to use antibiotics but after a 105.2 fever and trip to the emergency

room, it was inevitable.
