Abrupt OCD following Crohn's disease flare-up

[madhu]

Hi Dr T,

My son also has a lot of bowel issues which started right after he started having TICS at age 4. Prior to it he had 4 courses of antibiotics. He is now 10 and still has severe bowel issues and underweight for his age.

We are working with our 3rd GI who has promised to look at all the angles why he has so many bowel movements a day instead of saying he has IBS.

He also gave FLAGYL to try for 14 days. I'll let you know how that goes.

My younger son also started having TICs last year 3 weeks after a strep infection and this led me to PANDAS research....but I've always doubted if it was more than that. Maybe the 5 doses of abx before the strep and during strep infection. Maybe clostridia or maybe LYME or yeast or PANDAS .

Hope some day a brilliantand compasionate doctor like you will solve this problem and it would help all of us.

Hope this helps.

Madhu.
