Yeast - another issue

The results of a test taken back in August have now come back from the States.  We are dealing with a yeast issue on top of everything else.  So much to learn.  Here is a short article about yeast - guess I need to shop for garlic.

My son is herxing

My son has the same symptoms on azithromycin as he had on augmentin.  He gets scared of being in a room on his own.  Through the night he calls out 'Mum, are you there?'.  When I answer he turns over and goes back to sleep - but he needs to feel secure first.  He doesn't like to use the en-suite - a room within a room seems to frighten him if he is alone.  It took only a few days for this symptom to disappear last time.  He was fully aware of it and asked 'Why do you give me medication that makes me scared?'.

As we have already had a good improvement in health on azithromycin, I am full of hope that a much better recovery is on its way.  There is nothing more that I would want to see than my son happy and fully functioning.
