Please help me solve a tummy/cold sore mystery!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am hoping you can help me to solve a mystery.

Could be that my son (ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Sensory issues) simply has a

tummy bug, but what's happening is weird and has me worried I might be missing

something important.

He has been doing biomed for 2 years. Much, much recovered from when we started

but still clearly has some gut issues. He is GF/CF/SF/CF, dye, MSG, preservative

free--allergic to everything!. Somewhat SCD on a good day... His bowel

movements have been regular and solid for over a year, until this past week.

Coincidentally, 10 days ago we had to go off 2 of our probiotics (Orthobiotic

and Culturelle) for 3 days while we waited for shipment. I gave extra Therbiotic

Detox and also some Coconut Yogurt (So Delicious brand, anyone have feedback on

this???) to try to make up for it.

He's back on everything now, but for over a week, he's been having terrible

explosive diareha. Could this be because of the missing probiotics? The yogurt?

The first night it happened he had a short lived bout of fever and the chills

which went away. Now it's just the diarhea and otherwise he seems fine EXCEPT he

has cold sores. Terrible ongoing cold sores (these precede the diarhea by about

a week--these come and go constantly).

I am treating the cold sores with L-Lysine 3x a day. I also have these Herpes

bumps. Is there something else that should be done about them. They are a sign

that immunity is down and something viral is going on, right? Should I increase

all the anti-virals in my arsenal (Vit A, Elderberry, Monolaurin, etc.)

But what to do about the diareha. After 1 year of lovely firm poops, I am sooooo

sad to see this and concerned!!!!!

Thanks for any thoughts on this!!!!!

HTH,

Keep the lysine, maybe increase the dose.

Herpes die off caused a lot of yeast overgrowth here.

Herpes virus.

For three of my kids, yeast caused constipation. For one of my kids, yeast

caused diarrhea. So it might be the yeast caused by the herpes virus.

Id definately increase the anti-virals. My son eats the coconut milk yogurt and

doesnt have any problems with it, so its hard to say. That sounds like the new

addition so that could be it. Hopefully adding the probiotics back in will

help.

Alisa,

This sounds like what has been going through our house the past 2 1/2 weeks.

First my daughter had it--we were playing at the park; came home and within a

half hour she was on the couch and woundn't eat. That was on a Thurs. Good that

following weekend and then Mon evening she was sick again for about another

week. My son got it the following Thurs. but his did not seem to last as long.

He was very up and down. Now my husband has it. Severe diarrhea, fever, my

daughter was the only one who threw up. I just made sure the kids had enough

liquid (they had very little solids) and tried once to give my daughter Motrin

(she hated it). It did take a few days after they were feeling better for the

bms to become solid.

Hope he feels better soon!
