DS has been having a similar issue lately. He starts crying for every little thing. Shows OCD-like behaviors(wants to do the things in the exact same manner), constantly wants attention, is routine-oriented. But he has also been having clostridia and DAN Dr. said clostridia could be causing it as well. Right now we are trying Flagyl. I guess if these things don't go down with Flagyl then I'll have to again try to convince DAN again.> > > > > > From: Connie <consielynne@>> > Subject: Anxiety/Crying, Is It Strep Infection or Antibiotic That Is Triggering It?> > To: mb12 valtrex > > Date: Sunday, February 20, 2011, 9:53 PM> > > > > > Â > > > > > > > > My son (high functioning asperger, 12 yr old), has had anxiety problems in the past along with gut issues. He has been doing so well for the last few years with the treatment from our DAN! Dr, and now due to a strep infection and antibiotic use has really relapsed. He has been crying constantly when something doesn't go his way, or he suffers from the slightest dissapointment. He is getting so frustrated that he is pulling at his skin with frustration. I thought this was something in our past and am very discouraged to see this behavior resurface. My question is this, is it the strep infection (he has shown a high count during previous testing), or the antibiotic (Amoxacilin) that he is on that is causing the problem?> > > > I am giving him a good probiotic, am planning on doubling it, as well as, starting the Calm PRT again to help regulate his neurotransmitters. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you see the symptoms go away once the antibiotics are stopped? Any advise is appreciated.> > > > Thanks In Advance,> > Connie> >>
