He is only 13 months old could he have leaky gut?
I remember in one of the articles about ways you can get leaky gut it said that only 1 round of antibiotics ANY time in your life
can lead to LG
From what I've read, I think most if not all people have some degree of LG. Homogenized milk can even lead to it. Had I known this last Jan I wouldn't have taken an antibiotic for a sinus infection (although I knew enough to take a good probiotic with it). Unfortunately, the antibiotic probably got to my baby, but the probiotic only benefited me.
From the way I understand probiotics, I've never really read anything on it but would guess it wouldn't go through the ambilical chord.
Although I've been on a "health" quest for about 6 years, I've only recently discovered more healthy ways to eat as well (thanks to this forum
) . . . it's a journey and you do what you can with what you know and what's available to you!! One thing I've started doing this last month is making my own yogurt. From my understanding it is one of THE BEST ways to repair LG (and less expensive than Tummy Tuneup). It is so incredibly easy. I then mix it at about a 60/40 ratio with store bought yogurt 'cause I'm still trying to wean us over to it. My 9yo actually took several bites of Strawberry Yogurt tonight and he's been the HARDEST to get to eat it
If his steroids were inhaled through a nebulizer, that's better than a liquid form that actually gets into his blood. But, asthma symptoms are nothing to fool with. I've had my son turn blue on me before because his % oxygen level got low. It can be life threatening, and finding the root cause of asthma symptoms can be very tricky and frustrating. We're still working on our son . . . . it's a process.
