Have to go on antibiotics

[Guest guest]

My son is having a blood clot drained from his ear (self inflicted -

self injurious behavior) tomorrow. They want to put him on

antibiotics. Should I continue with his probiotics? How long after the

antibiotics will it take to get him his good flora back? Should I tell

the doctor I don't want to give him the antibiotics?

Thanks,

Maureen

Maureen,

I think you should give him the antibiotics. But you must continue

the pro-biotics, just don't give them close to the antibiotics. For

example, if you give the antibiotic at 6 a.m., 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. then

give the pro-biotics at 10 am. and 6 p.m., etc.

I agree that you need to give the antibiotics in this case. I suppose it would

kill off some of the probiotics.... even if you give it at a different time of

day.... but some will survive. It's impossible to know how long it would take

to get his gut back in balance after the antibiotics are finished..... but the

most important thing is to stick with legal foods, and just keep the acidophilus

coming in.
