Working towards Iv antibiotics

[cobbiemommy]

Dr has prescribed Iv Rocephin for DS. He is currently taking orals and probiotics and some supplements. He drinks vast amounts of water.

 

I bought some new pearl probiotics that have 5 billion units (I think) and Alpha lipoic acid, as well as milk thistle to help with the detox.

 

I know Rocephin can be hard on the gall bladder. Any recommendations from Mom's who have been there? I want to protect him as much as possible from yeast, gallbladder issues and horrible herx reactions.

My son (who was 14 at the time) was on IV Rocephin twice daily for 5 months Mon-Fri (took breaks on weekends). Of course, I worried about his gallbladder the entire time and some docs give Actigall prophylactically, but our LLMD did not recommend it. For detox we used NAC, high-dose probiotics, Milk Thistle, and lots of water. He made a lot of progress (i.e. his psychiatric symptoms were greatly reduced) on Rocephin.
