Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Hi, My son is having the 2nd ear infection of his life, but the first one since being gf/cf (we did have a diet infraction). He used to eat yogurt all the time. Since he can't have that anymore, what should I do to counter the yeast? I am totally new to this. Please give exact reccomendations. Konner is 33 months old and weighs about 30 lbs. Also, what antibiotics are ok for these kids. He is taking Omnicef. Also, are decongestants ok? The whole family is sick, but Konner is the worst. Thanks, Beth Kennedy --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 I'm confused by your comment on yeast and ear infections unless you are talking about yeast overgrowth due to the use of oral antibiotics. In any case, I'll chime in relating that the last time my son had an ear infection, his pediatrician gave him a single injection of Rocephin, and that was that. Counteracting yeast in general is a whole 'nother ballgame. Hopefully others will chime in, but to start, you could try grapefruitseed extract, no-phenol enzyme from www.houstonni.com, Kirkman's yeast control formula, etc. Max --- Beth Kennedy <merrybethkennedy@...> wrote: > > Hi, > My son is having the 2nd ear infection of his life, > but the first one since being gf/cf (we did have a > diet infraction).

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 In a message dated 6/5/02 8:59:44 PM Pacific Daylight Time, writes: Harper, wow, I am envious of your two weeks on the coast. Your description made the area sound very relaxing and peaceful. I can see you walking the beach, can almost feel the sand between my toes, can smell the faint salt from the ocean mists, and laugh at the seals barking from the nearby rocks. Enjoy every minute. I hope it recharges your spirit. , thanks. I'll be up here nearly a month at a stretch -- but two weeks of it is by myself. Then I'll come back up to the ocean house in July, after a high school reunion. I thought I would be without a car up here, and it's five miles into town, but I got one at the last minute. I was almost disappointed to find I would have a car, as I'd come to like the idea of being isolated. Until today, I hadn't driven in more than a year. This morning I saw a wonderful bird at low tide: glossy black, larger than a robin, with moderately long pale pink legs, an orange ring around its eye, a short tail, and a brilliant red, conical beak, perhaps four inches long. It pries shellfish off the rocks and then wedges them open with that beak. The bird has an elegant appearance, yet it looks both comical and menacing. The tilesetter was here putting in a bathroom floor; he said it was a "sea pigeon." That didn't sound quite right to me. I couldn't find the bird in my books, but a friend in Albuquerque who used to live in Baja tells me it is a Black Oystercatcher. Oh, dear. I'm trying hard not to write too often, "keeping my mouth shut" when possible so as not to monopolize the site. And here I've written on and on about something that has nothing to do with our innards. Our newest member wrote about "living our lives", and someone replied that we shouldn't give up our dreams, but just pursue them more slowly. I've changed to a different set of dreams, much better ones. I realize I'm very fortunate, very privileged, in being able to have this place, this new house near the sea, to escape to, but my new dreams could be pursued anywhere, under (nearly) any set of circumstances. My new dreams have to do with noticing people, listening to them, watching for the beauty in each minute of the day, not letting days slip away in routine. Since I've begun this message, I'll add something about being in the sun when you have psoriasis. I think you have to balance the risks and benefits of being in the sun against the skin disease and the drugs we take. The writer, Cheever, found his life was dominated by severe psoriasis, a disease he found very depressing. He sunbathed whenever he could, winter and summer, and used tanning devices as they became available. He developed significant skin cancer as a result. However, he was fairly old by the time the skin cancer came along, and having psoriasis had made him quite miserable. I guess every person has to decide what the trade-off might be and what degree of risk he or she is willing to take. By the way, do any of you remember what the little red dots on chest and arms mean in terms of liver disease? I didn't bring any reference books with me. I remember getting quite a lot of them when I first became ill, and I think I'm getting more now. Best wishes to all of you. I read every message from the group with great interest and affection.
