Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 My son's GI doctor prescribed Flagyl for his bacterial overgrowth. He has never had an ABX in his life, so I don't know if I am going to use it. Without me mentioning anything about SCD, she suspects he is having episodes of D-Lactic Acidosis and gave me an undated script to get blood drawn the next time he is acting drunk. I could easily provoke this by giving him a bag of carrots and driving to the nearest blood draw station (LOL). Lots of heavy duty ABX (not Flagyl) seem to be the mainstream treatment for D-Lactic Acidosis. Since my son tolerates so few of the SCD carbs, might ABX help him achieve legal carb tolerance faster? So far, he mostly just tolerates raw romaine lettuce leaves and lemon juice in his yogurt at this point. He also eats several meats and cheddar cheese. There are a few other carbs that he is borderline on tolerating. - --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect. Join Yahoo!'s user panel and lay it on us.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi , Have you ever tried lauricidin? Pam Ferro uses it in her clinic. It is great against bacteria and fungi. Please start out with tiny amounts because the die off reaction is powerful. It is only available from one source: www.lauricidin.com Mimi > My son's GI doctor prescribed Flagyl for his bacterial overgrowth.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Mimi, I have some of this in the cupboard that we could be using. I originally got it for our daughter, but it didn't help--later found out she had Cdiff--so that's why. Our sons also have bacterial/fungal problems and I looked at the laricidin in the cupboard, but it sounds like they promote taking it " forever " . Do you know if Pam Ferro is able to take her patients off of it? Thanks. Rhonda Re: when to use ABX? | Hi , | | Have you ever tried lauricidin? Pam Ferro uses it in her clinic.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Rhonda, I hope that with SCD we will not need it forever. I will ask Pam and get back to you.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 No, his GI doctor repeated his stool test 3 times for yeast to make sure we didn't have a false negative. He only has non-pathogenic bacterial overgrowth such as lactabacilli (which is why I'm now concerned about giving any yogurt or probiotic). He is not just reacting to carrots, he is reacts to all legal carbs except he seems to get a way with romaine lettuce leaves and lemon/lime juice. I proved this to myself by feeding him nothing but protein one day. He was a perfect child. Then I tested all of the stage 1-2 fruits (bad). I thought he was okay with nut butter, but I realized he gets wacko from that too. - Sheila Trenholm wrote: Hi , <<My son's GI doctor prescribed Flagyl for his bacterial overgrowth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hi , <<I thought he was okay with nut butter, but I realized he gets wacko from that too.>> Is it all the nut butters. Pecan butter would be the easiest to digest along with blanched almond butter. I do well with blanched macadamia butter and some people who react to the others are okay with it - high in good fats. Fruit wise have you thought about using some of the berries that are high in nutrients but lower in carbs. If you aren't ready for fresh berries you could try juicing them to get nutrients (diluted at least % 50 with water). Another option (depending on bowel movements) is to press fresh berries thru a seive to strain out seeds and skins.
