OT citrobacter freundii

[Guest guest]

This little beastie has reared it's ugly head again in my son. He had a high

count of this seven years ago but it hasn't shown up in stool testing again

until a few months ago where it showed up at 2+. We treated it with Urva

Ursi and it went away for one testing round but is now it's back at 4+. I

recall, long ago, hearing that this beast is doubly bad since it releases

toxins that affect the brain but I don't recall alot about it so any info

would be welcome.

He started Cipro for it on Thursday and at first seemed fine but mid-day

yesterday was a bucket of tears, strange tantrumming for weird reasons which

is extremely odd for him. I vaguely recall some strange behavior the first

time we treated this years ago but it was so long ago I don't recall

specifics.

He's fine now and was doing fine right before the melt-down series so it does

seem like he had a weird physical thing. Anyone know if the bacteria release

toxins as they die off? Any info or suggestions to offer?

He's also taking Lauricidin -- gradually increasing, now at 1/4 cap twice a

day. I don't usually give him antibiotics (last round was six years ago) but

since I recall this one being a mess last time and the Uva Ursi not seeming

to help, the doc and I felt Cipro was the best bet. Hopefully, I won't

regret that decision.

Also, anyone know if FOS feeds citrobacter freundii? I just noticed the

brand of probiotics we use just added FOS on the sly and we're almost done

with that bottle so he's probably been taking it for a month. The old bottle

doesn't list the FOS. I hate it when companies change products we trust in.

I also recently noticed the calcium supplement he's been taking for years

just added oyster shell with the last bottle. Just when you think you can

relax, you have to keep reading those darned labels!

Gaylen,

When did you start the lauricidin? I remember crying out bursts at

the start of lauricidin. But progress did follow.
