Tootsie completed 2 weeks of Amox-Clav (250mg, twice daily). She is doing well. The past few nights she has wanted to sleep in her own room. This is huge! She hasn't been able to sleep by herself for 7 months. Three nights ago she woke at 11PM and came to our room and finished the night in our bed, the next tight she made it until Midnight, and last night she made it until 2:30AM! She started metronidazole (250mg, 1/2 tablet twice daily) last night and will be on it for two weeks. Hoping it wipes out the methane producing bacteria and she is finally able to sleep peacefully through the night without waking.
The supplements are going well. She does get a few minutes of heartburn after taking the MotilPro. Dr B (the ND) prescribed an alternative if the heartburn is too bothersome. She said it's a local discomfort caused by the ginger, but it isn't harmful. We'll keep plugging along with it for now.
The alternative is Gentian (1 drop on tongue 3 times daily prior to meals) and 5-HTP (1 capsule at bedtime).
UPDATE:
The sleeping on her own only lasted a few nights. Once we started the metronidazole she went back to wanting to sleep in our bed.
