Drs and their over prescribing of antibiotics.

I am so sick right now.

I have been trying to figuer out what is wrong with my daughter's stomach. She seems so miswerable, so in pain. Only having a bowel movement once a week.

I started researching. Turns out too many antibiotics can cause an over growth of flora in the digestive tract. This causes an imbalance in the flora.

I started talking to other mothers. Apparently many pediatricians prescribe antibiotics at the first sign of infection. I know now that my daughter should not have had 3 scripts of antibiotics in such a short time. This could very well be why she is so sick.

I also know that every parent should try the natural approach first. Garlic extract can cure an ear infection, there are natural herbs for throat infections.

I am so sad for my daughter. Hopefully the probiotics work.
