Valtrex

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am really interested in Valtrex and what it does. I had an

appointment with my DAN back in September and he recommended putting

my son on a lead chelator (cuprimine) and also valtrex.

He also put my son back on back diflucan. I did the diflucan for a

little while and poops improved. I stopped using the diflucan, but

the poops stayed firm. Normally, this doesn't happen. Within a

couple of a few weeks, the poop quality goes back down.

So, does Valtrex have anti-yeast qualities?

Second, my son started potty-training without much effort at all on my

part. One day, I just asked him to go, and he went 5 times within the

same day. This never happened before.

We ran out of the chelator and I also went through the entire bottle

of valtrex.

My son has been off the chelator for about 3 weeks now and off of the

valtrex for about 2 weeks. Since then, poops have gotten worse and

potty-training has gone downhill.

So, my question is, what is Valtrex capable of doing for kids with ASD

and also, how long do they normally have to stay on it? I have also

heard things about high doses of valtrex. My son started off on 250

mg for the first 5 days, then 500 mg for 5 days, then 750 mg for the

last 5 days. I don't know how high we could safely go up.

Also, does Valtrex harm the liver if my son is on it for a long time?

I have a phone consult with my DAN tomorrow morning, so am looking for

some extra info first.

Thanks.

Dawn
