Xpost: How do I balance the tx of PANDAS, yeast and bacteria? Vicious cycle!!

[Guest guest]

I really need some advice from some parents who have been down this road for

some time. My kids have pandas and are therefore on prophylactic antibiotics

(zithro, once a week). We are on a vicious cycle of yeast and bacteria (namely,

klebsiella). Our dan doc prefers the use of diflucan and vancomycin and high

dose probiotics to control it. But I find that I have to use BOTH diflucan and

vanco, otherwise I get control of one and the other one flares. Not so uncommon,

I know. But what do I do now? We are about 1 week into vanco/diflucan and I am

wondering if, when we are done with this round, I should just have my son on a

permanent rotation of antimicrobials? I mean, it seems like this negates the

point of the high dose probiotics, doesn't it?

I was thinking about the following (4 days of each): Uva Ursi, Olive Leaf

Extract, Oil of Oregano. I came up with this on my own b/c each seems to have

antimicrobial action against strep, yeast and bacteria. Is this a sound plan? Am

I missing something?

Is there really any way to stabalize these kids while on zithromax? I mean

should I just stop the zithro and rely on the natural antimicrobials to prevent

strep? Will that work?
