My twins have been on a strong dose of amoxicillin for a few days because of bronchitis, so my…

Yes, it kills their gut flora. Increase the

Yogurt or add another probiotic

Omg yes Damien was on penicillin for a few days last week and it was horrible! His poor butt was near bleeding and he’s never had a butt rash before! We switched antibiotics and it stopped luckily.

My son was prescribed amoxicillin 6 months ago and his first symptoms were explosive diarrhea, raised red butt and balls and even bleeding! Then he went from that to stopped up, passing bloody balls, not eating and lots more side effects. The doctor kept saying it would correct itself but it didn’t and we had to go see a gastrointestinal specialist after he suffered for 4 months going back and forth from constipation to diarrhea and even got yeast infections! I was so distraught and livid at our pediatrician for being so passive about it all and it wasn’t until I made a post on Facebook where I learned countless other mothers children were suffering the same symptoms sometimes years later! Pediatricians kept putting the symptoms off as “normal” and telling mothers to wait it out but truth is after speaking to the gastrointestinal specialist and countless other pediatrician’s amoxicillin is too strong for babies under 12-18 months and should only be prescribed when absolutely necessary (not for damn sniffles and runny nose like my son) and when prescribed they need prescription strength probiotics to counter the antibiotics stripping away the good and bad enzymes from the gut, feed yogurt daily to replace those enzymes and adhere to a strict diet of no dairy, red dye, gluten, sugar, high fat and other foods that may trigger either diarrhea or constipation. There’s absolutely no reason for a child to suffer like mine did and now I know what to do and tell other mothers when I can. I’ve made several posts about this and even after 6 months my son still has IBS and chronic constipation if we stray from his diet. His gut is still healing and it could be years before it corrects itself! 🤦‍♀️ I blame myself for trusting his pediatrician so blindly when usually I do research on my own before giving him anything but now I know and I hope I’ve helped
