Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 gets those too, on his buttocks. I had some Rx triamciolone ointment for an open area on his face having a hard time healing, and used it on a sore spot on his buttocks and it curred it in a few days. I did notify his doc before hand, she is usually fine with giving things a go. shawna Wishing all a very Merry Chirstmas! http://sewshawna.blogspot.com ________________________________ To: Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 9:42:31 AM Subject: Re: MRSA scare IMHO phillus or Probiotics, yogurt with active cultures and ask the doc about DILUTE clorox baths.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I and have taken clindamyicin and nothing has happened. has had cellulitis several times. In fact he had an open wound on his head that would not heal for 2 years. I had him to a Dermatologist, and wound care specialist, and his own pediatrician. We finally did 40 HBOT treatments and the hole closed. Then he got cellulitis of the face and not it will not heal. We will be doing HBOT again to heal. Did they do the cultures before any antibiotics or after? is doing better since we have him on a good probiotic and several different supplements.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Cyndi,They did the culture before the antibiotics so hopefully it was accurate. already is having loose bowel movements and he is usually a very constipated kid and takes lactulose, which I stopped for the antibiotic course. I wanted to ask what probiotics you use. I tried opening one of my capsules this morning and sprinkling it in his cereal but I think he tasted it and only ate a little. Any suggestions?I'm glad is doing better.Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Try putting the probiotics in pudding , ice cream or applesauce (my favorite.) > Cyndi,They did the culture before the antibiotics so hopefully it was > accurate. already is having loose bowel movements and he is usually > a very constipated kid and takes lactulose, which I stopped for the > antibiotic course.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm assuming that the antibiotics given in this original post were due to MRSA (I spent over 40 days on life support after getting it in my lungs somewhow last summer 07) - The same thing my doctor ordered for me is very helpful in regards to probiotics - Acidopholis Milk. It's one of the best natural probiotics and is easily hidden from our kids that can detect anything !!! Mom is making Milkshakes *he calls them that* , they are actually the Acidopholis Milk with Ice so it's an Icee..he can't tell any difference and after a high yeast that seemed to reverse some of the effects of Chelating (I'm not too sure of the safety of this unless you really have a Dr. in touch with it). After about 3 weeks of the Icee's he's done another 180 and is starting to emerge with more speech..although atonal and mostly non pragmatic....it is speech.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Terry, I order 's probiotics from Wellness Pharmacy because they are casein gluten free and this is the one the Dr. wanted him. Whole Foods sells one that is good that is gf/cf and it is in the refrigerator section. Dr. Mumper said use the ones that are refrigerated. The ones from Whole Foods are called Advanced 40+ Acidophilus 1.5 billion Microorganisms per use. They are suitable for vegetarians. They are made by SolGar.They have no dairy, no wheat, no major allergens. I think they were like $16.00 for 60 capsules. If you want to call Wellness and talk with them ask for n and there # is or . If you are having problems with giving probiotics they can help with a solution I am sure. takes Klair Labs ther-Biotic Complete 25+ billion and they are 60 vegetarian capsules and they are $21.45. I hope this helps.
