The Strangest thing......

[mylittleangel]

So my son came down with a terrible virus 10 days ago, about 10 weeks in to our candida program. He had a horrible cold/cough that turned inot an ear infection. I took him to his ped who put him on antibiotics. I was soooooooo upset to put him on antibiotics again (he was on antibiotics about 30 times in the forst 3 years of his life). I knew that it would make us take 10 steps back from all the progress we had made killing the candida. Anyway, the oposite happened. He had virtually no tics at all. During the 7 days on antibiotics, I took him off all his supplements and only gave him pobiotics 2-3 times per day. Today we went for his naturopath visit and I was so excited to tell him the good news. Well, sure enough, we got home and tonight his tics are coming back.....not horrible but enough that I am upset. Could it be the supplements making him tic? The only things he takes are natural calm, B6, garlic (to kill candida), culturelle (for clostridia), a tincture of olive leaf and licorice, and a probiotic. He finished the antibiotics 3 days ago. I am so confused. Help??????

Check the pandas thread all will be explained

[Chemar]

when tics reduce after antibiotics it is very likely that they were being *caused* by a microbe

 

I agree you should look into PANDAS (strep) etc

 

Maybe members on our PANDAS forum can provide additional insight as well

Also, on the PANDAS forum discussion look up posts by ACDRoberts -- a parent to a child with tics.

If you can search on the PANDAS forum for the Susan Swedo video from the fall 2008 DAN conference that may help explain more.

Best to you as you sort this out--
