Re: ? about antibiotics and fish oils

I am not quoting research here but only personal experience. I was dx w/Lyme in

my rt knee in June of 09. I was on antibiotics for 4.5 months til early Dec. I

started NV in mid Oct & it seemed to balance out my meds. I didn't lose that

much wt then but didn't gain any. Antibiotics (according to my Google search)

can cause one to crave sugars & starch/ gluten AND to gain wt.

So, it seems logical that antibiotics could change the effectiveness of fish

oils.

Hope this info helps!

[ ] ? about antibiotics and fish oils

I'm new to the group, and my son has a speech delay. He has not been diagnosed

as apraxic but I feel like that's what we're dealing with based on your postings

and my research.

Anyway, I started him on ProEFA about two weeks ago, and have seen some great

effects already. BUT, and here's my question, can taking antibiotics affect the

fish oil's positive results? He was put on antibiotics Tuesday for a respitory

infection and it seems like it's counteracting the fish oil.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Or could it just be that he's sick and not

feeling like himself?

Thanks,

It could be yeast. Antibiotics kill that good stuff along with the bad stuff

and result in yeast overgrowth. Is your son on any probiotics? You should be

giving him a good pribiotic at least 2 hours away from the antibiotic.

I'm away for the weekend so hard to answer in full but noticed this thread is

getting off from your original question. In short its normal for apraxic or

speech impaired individuals to regress when tired stressed or sick w or without

antibiotics. Nothing to stress over and if adding probiotics keep it simple as

a newbie. Natural yogurt and/or keifer. My son regresses on many other

probiotics. Some things we look at as benign like fiber for example can short

chain the long chain fatty acids in the gut. Keep it simple. This too shall

pass. Gotta run will answer more later! PS forgot to stress this is normal.
