Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, I posted a while ago about a course of vancomycin that we gave our son and he has now finished it and we've seen definite gains over a 6 week period, both with language and also his constipation. To give an example of the language gains, he was struggling beforehand to sequence the sounds in a simple word like " biscuit " and now he is pronouncing this with ease and combining words and even using 4 words together in some cases. The problem is that we stopped the vancomycin 1 week ago and already i can see he is slipping back into his old constipation problems. Whilst on vancomycin (after a hellish week of die off) he was going 2 or 3 times a day with no straining or posturing. Now back to 'normal', he tries to go at various times during the day getting very distracted by his attempts to go, then by the end of the day he lies on the floor in pain with his legs crossed really tightly and we end up having to pull them apart to help him go. I know that going only once per day is not that bad but surely this behaviour with crossed legs and wincing and resisting it is not normal? When it comes out it isn't super dried out or hard. It is going back to being more yellowish, during vancomycin it was more brown. I'm so confused because if this behaviour had originally been caused by a fissure or the traumatic memory of a fissure, why was it suddenly fine on vancomycin? We are giving probios and vits/mins but wonder if there is anything else we should be doing? Its so heartbreaking that I can see the progress reversing and don't know what to do about it. I should add that so far nothing has reversed with his language gains yet. Sorry for all the gory details but if this rings a bell with any of you please tell me what to do as I am desperate and confused. thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
