How to stop diarrhea after antibiotic?

[Guest guest]

I had to give my son an antibiotic for a very bad UTI - which D Mannose could

not seem to knock out. The specially compounded abx - sulfameth I believe - was

given for 7 days. I gave him lots of probiotics - 4 Culturelle a day, and 250

billion cfus of a Klaire probiotic during this time many hours away from the

abx. It seemed to keep gut issues at bay - until day 7, when he got the trots.

I gave some extra probiotics and it is 2 days later since he is off the abx and

he is not eating well, and is still having loose bowel - in fact he requested a

pull up because he knows his stomach and bowels are not right. What else can I

do to help normalize things? I can't afford to give much more probiotic than I

am currently. But I will if I have to. What else can I do to firm up his

stools and repair his gut? Before this his gut was so good. This is only the

second antibiotic he has ever had in his life - he is five now and had one at

age 20 mos before starting biomed. We haven't done a round in two weeks because

of the UTI. We want to do a round this weekend, but we need to get his gut

better first.

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Irene
