Give the probiotics at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotics. You can switch

to something like GSE/OoO during the antibiotics, and give the probiotics after

the antibiotics are finished, if you want.

If we don't give enough probiotics while the kids are on antibiotics they

stomach aches -- which if bad enough for either of them to mention I assume are

really bad. I keep them on Aloe gel or capsules as well.

Probiotics have always helped, but I'm not sure whether I should/can keep on

with them at the same time as the antibiotics?

Hello,

Our son had H pylori and we tried Mastica, etc. but we did not get results. We

had to do the antibiotics.

We believe he had undiagnosed h pylori for a long time. We did the antibiotics

and we saw improvement in the reflux.

A couple of weeks after the antibiotics he got diarrhea for 12 days, it was

found to be clostridium difficile and had to do another 10 days of antibiotics

for that.

Looking back we wish we had done probiotics couple of times a day every day

during the antibiotics. The clostridium difficile was a consequence of the use

of antiobiotcs for H pylori and S. boulardii helps with that.

Other probiotics we are giving is culturelle, and some times rotate with others.

VSL# 3 is too strong we don't think he tolerate but for many people works very

well.

H pylori is a very bad bug. Many times it does not go away with one course of

antibiotics. Looking back again we should have been looking and testing and

fighting it because of our son's reflux.

Our son has also reflux because of food allergies. He does not tolerate

fructose. Apples for example, appple juice, pear juice, pear puree, all create

reflux. Fructose intolerant is a metabolic problem with the fructose in fruits

and vegetables. It took forever for us to figure the fructose problem.

I did ask his GI if there was a relationship between reflux and seizures. He

looked puzzled with the question. Did you find any literature on that?
