Is there a test for it if there are no other outward symptoms?

Heather

If an infant gets really early antibiotics can a nursing mom help the cause by using probiotics in her own diet?

Hilary Gerber

D - there is extensive research on the safety of probiotics in infants. You can buy probiotic powders that are developed specifically for infants. It is fine for moms to take, too. (Again, lots of good research, in pregnant and nursing moms).

Nursing babies do pick up most of their inherent flora from their moms, but antibiotics in one or both members of the nursing relationship can alter the yeast and bacteria balance in both.

I also wanted to mention that a sudden severe restriction in diet can happen after a GI illness, regardless of antibiotic administration, which I guess can also alter intestinal flora in some cases. When I encountered this phenomenon (which is also documented by research) with my own son, I just patiently continued to reintroduce foods repeatedly with no judgment, just as you should to a baby (and I gave him probiotics) and he now has a healthy and varied diet.

That's interesting. D had a ton of antibiotics as a newborn, because he spiked a fever and they had to rule out sepsis. But he ate just fine as a baby -- it wasn't until he was 2 or 3 that he became a picky eater. I sometimes worry that it was forcing him to take the anti-malarial medication when we went to Africa that triggered his picky eating.

But he ate a few peas yesterday!!!

My daughter has a very restricted diet at age three still (dry and crunchy or smooth liquid only), and I wonder if her having thrush as an infant could still be affecting her. I feel fairly certain that getting my ped to consider Judy's suggestion would be a fruitless endeavor. On the other hand, my daughter has never liked to put anything in her mouth except her hand, so now I'm back to tactile defensiveness as primary cause for her diet issues. Arg! Sometimes more information is simultaneously exciting and frustrating.

Tubal Reversal

Hy all over there….
Hope u all fine and dng well….
Here I wanna some information about a Medical term that is called Tubal reversal…. A tubal reversal, also known as tubal reanastomosis, is usually performed when a woman wants to try to achieve pregnancy after undergoing a tubal ligation. In many cases, surgery for tubal reversal is successful. However, a number of factors can affect the success of the procedure. Estimates vary, but health experts approximate somewhere between 50 to 75 percent of tubal reversals are successful in reopening the fallopian tubes. However, the success rate may be much lower.

After dinner it was back to the room to shower and go to bed. I took a nice cold shower (my second of the day) – which while annoying when I have to take them at home are extremely refreshing here – then sat down to start writing this thing while Quy read. The room has a TV, so I also tried watching Vietnamese television for the first time. Reception on the set isn’t the best, but we get some sort of international CNN channel (in English), a few Vietnamese channels and a Muslim channel.
