Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Yes, it is a sign of die off to have the stool issues. It could last a while depending on the child. Hope this helps until you hear back from the office. Keep him hydrated. Dawn Sent via BlackBerry by AT & T Valtrex die off We are hoping this is simply die off but are very concerned. When we increased our son's Valtrex dosage he began having very loose stools and some diarrhea. Can anyone verify whether or not this is a sign of die off? I e-mailed the office on Friday but have not heard back. We are seeing some good results from the meds as well. Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Have you ever thought of using HBOT along with the die off meds/ antiviral etc.., HBOT is used as a delivery system for these types of disorders, including yeast and other fungal. Since these virus live in the gut and in the lymph system in the gut, it is very difficult to deliver the meds to the place of need. not only does HBOT work against the viral load and yeast type infections, it will repair the damage, and restore the normal ph of the gut, I have many studies on this. I would be more than happy to either post them and or send them by snail mail or email. I know this is what helped my daughters. Understand please I am not giving medical advice, rather I am just stating what helped my daughters. I am here as a parent only.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 It could be this dreaded stomach flu that's going around. Some people have vomiting and diarrhea and others just have diarrhea. There's also a significant chance of relapse anywhere from 2 to 3 days after having the flu and 2-3 weeks. My youngest is still having stool issues almost two weeks after having the flu. I hope he feels better soon. Robyn " K. Wood " <joelkwood@...> wrote: Thank you so much.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 As far as I know, HBOT is a big " no-no " as far as Dr. G is concerned. With HBOT, you can't control where the oxygen goes, and hyperperfusion can be a problem just as hypoperfusion is. You may want to check with his office. Good luck and take care. Robyn " K.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 well apparently Dr G is not for HBOT, the hyperperfusion in the autistic brain yes is normally seen in SPECT scans, Normalizing the blood flow is what HBOT does. there are many different protocols for HBOT ,the perfusion is controlled by the depth of the treatments. For example, wounds that are infected are treated at a much deeper protocol than a child who drown or has a brain injury. Autism is treated at a different depth than a closed head injury. Dose and pressure is the key. You must always follow what your physican feels is correct. I wont post anymore on the subject.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi, . Can you post the links or send them directly to me regarding HBOT and gut issues? I would certainly be interested in reading up on that. I'm thinking that the key to HBOT is getting a doctor who is very familiar with the individual protocols and how to utilize HBOT in the most effective manner. Like anything, in the wrong hands, it can be harmful. I'm glad to hear that it helped your girls. I knew it was used on wounds and for the brain, but I had no idea it was effective in the gut. Again, I would be interested in reading any info you have on this. Please feel free to send it directly to my e-mail address.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi, . One other thing regarding the HBOT, the hyperperfusion Dr. G told us about was evident in children who'd already had HBOT. If hyperperfusion were already detected in a SPECT scan, could HBOT be used to normalize the blood flow, or would it only be indicated in children with hypoperfusion? I'm just curious because that's what we're dealing with in Noah.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Dr. G told me that HBOT rushes too much blood to the brain and that it can be dangerous. I know my own son had an adjustment (too much blood rushed to the brain) by a chiropractor before we started with Dr. G and he suffered a grand mal seizure from it.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 My kids had die-off with valtrex between 60-80 days. It's frustrating, but keep at it. Sounds like it's working! Also, hopefully you are seeing some good things along with the die-off. Sometimes that's all that kept me going! Hth.

At Dr. G's suggestion we have gone to the pediatrician and audiologist who find nothing wrong. It could be this time of year, but has anyone else experienced die off longer than 50 days? I expected Valtrex to be tough on him since it's the best anti-viral for CMV which has been climbing though we were on Famvir for the last year and had gotten to 6.8 before we started Valtrex. Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else had a long adjustment period to this. Also, we use the generic Valtrex which I was thrilled about since it doesn't have the blue coating.
