Re: Firmed stools when on antibiotics for an ear infection

Thanks. We are about to start. When I asked the DAN if we might run a comprehensive stool panel, he said those are messy and our OAT test was evidence enough to treat bacteria. I'll let you all know what happens. I appreciate your response!Sent from my iPhone

our LLMD says it did but I havne't done much research on it

Can Flagyl kill gut strep? Is it similar to antibiotics used regularly? (amoxicillin - zithro?)

Thanks to any and all clarification!

My 2 boys used to go to a GI known for treating autistic kids with gut issues and he told me some of his kids needed to stay on Flagyllongterm to keep having firm poops. Just something to keep in mind. Maybe go to a GI. hth.Rhonda Masengale

My 3.5 year old daughter has chronic loose stools. I've been trying a lot of things with her with diet. Her stools go from mushy or liquidy to well-formed and fully digested when she is on antibiotics to treat an ear infection (last year, she was on an antibiotic twice for an ear infection).She is autistic and non-verbal and cannot tell me what's going on with her. Right now, I'm trying everything I can to firm up the stools again but I'm just getting mushy, poorly formed stools. SCD and GFCF and probiotics are doing nothing for the stools. We've also been trying enzymes, but to no avail. They were firm again in late November for a while, but that was just after she had been on the antibiotics for an ear infection. Weeks after that, her BMs degraded back to the usual mush, sometimes not fully digested even with enzymes.Has anyone else seen this in their child? How should we approach this?

The OAT will not show strep. Different bacterias need to be treated differently.

OATS will show clostrida though, the point is to get treatment and either way if you show bacteria and are getting help it will and would address both
