Re: Did a course of antibiotics precede constipation?

[Guest guest]

I was prescribed antibiotics when I was nursing my son -- he developed constipation shortly thereafter!

Of course, I didn't make the connection til much later but the fact that you bring it up makes me seriously

consider that it was a factor...

Did anyone experience the onset of constipation in your child during or following a course of antibiotics? I would guess that most doctors do not tell parents to supplement with probiotics during and after a course of antibiotics. Antibiotics will wipe out probiotics and cause an imbalance in the gut flora. Treating with PEG will not improve this underlying condition and may cause it to worsen.
