MamaOnAMission Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 my girl is severely sick and the last week i saw her sleep soundly when i added in culturelle. she is mean though. i am lost when it comes to this gut stuff. i have custom probiotics that i did not start yet and i have florastor. should i add those in or wait for the clostridia test to come back, which i am sure is positive??? she has bart/lyme disease too. does she need flagyl, diflucan or nystatin??? are they the antibiotics that kill yeast??? the vanco is an antibiotic that kills the clostridia, i know that. any advice would be so much appreciated. if i had a simple book to read on this stuff, i would not have to ask so many questions. it's just too dang confusing for me.

Mayzoo Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Probiotics help regulate my kiddos sleep. Something to do with the yeast overgrowth in the gut affecting the seretonin production. Here is an article about probiotics and sleep: My link. Diflucan and Nystatin are anti-fungal and kill yeast overgrowth. Flagyl is anti-microbial and bactericidal. Below are some books that may be helpful. Antibiotics do not kill yeast. They kill the "bad" bacteria and unfortunately the "good" bacteria that help to keep yeast in check, hence yeast overgrowth. You can go to any half price book store and look for a book on drugs in the medical/nursing section. I worked pharmacy for 20 years, so I have a ton of books and resources now. There are also web sites that are really good for looking up drugs both in lay terms and medical terminology.

Mayzoo Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I also saw on another thread you look like you could use an internet drug interaction checker (never hurts to look out for yourself and your family): http://www.umm.edu/adam/drug_checker.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
