Vancocymin?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone used vancomycin for clostridia for long periods of time.My

son is doing a 6 day trial.

Vanco is the " Rocket Fuel " of antibiotics. I would be very hesitant to

put my child on it for something less than bacterial meningitis. It's

the stuff they use to kill the drug-resistant bacterial strains.

Definitely ask your dr. why they want to use such a powerful med.

From what I understand, some DAN docs are using it for PANDAS, strep and as part of biofilm protocol. I met a mom in my DANs office who said it was what stopped her daughters OCD for good. We haven't tried it. I've read the package insert and it is VERY potent and works only in the gut, not systemically.

Vanco is systemic. It's used in Bacterial Meningitis for the " drug-

resistant " strains not only because of its potency, but because it can

cross into the CSF.

We didn't do it for very long. 10 days. ON day 3 we started flagyl

for 10 days as well, so they overlapped by a week. seems to have

worked pretty well. saw huge aggression while on it (massive toxins

released?) then it tapered off and it's been much smoother sailing

since. that was january. we're also scd and using s. boulardii and

probiotics.

hope that helps.

It doesn´t sound too good to me 6 days round abx for clostridia.

There are several reports telling that many autistic children

improve a lot on vancomycine but then regress after a while.

You can search at pubmed.com: " vancomycin autism "

I don´t know about vanco for long time, we saved this abx as last

resource, we used flagyl for 3.5 months after positive test for

clostridia. It was very clear the calming effect of this abx.

I believe that's when administered with an IV...I'm pretty sure it

doesn't cross the GI tract when administered orally.

Those reports are what prompted me to implement SCD before we did the

vanco/flagyl. and we had other naturals on board to help keep the

clostridia from returning. I'm not sure if we've been truly

successful yet, it's been 2.5 months since we did the abx. I'm hoping

at this point if it was going to make a nasty return, it already would

have. Most info I've seen says it comes back within a few weeks of

discontinuing the antibiotics. His abdomen is still slightly

distended. I do know that yeast is still an issue. but behaviors are

much much better.

We are using it orally instead of injection for 6 days only for trial.thesman609 wrote: Hi,Thats correct its not absorbed orally.
