Reply to "klebsiella pneumoniae in sinuses and a general downward spiral"

Hi Scott,

Yes I tend to rotate probiotics between Florastor, VSL#3 and Culturelle and I double up on the Florstor while taking probiotics and take the bacteria based probiotics (Florastor is a yeast) 6hours after my antibiotics. 

Ive also gotten good results with bovine colostrum and sublingual B12 which helps with energy.

I do use nasal irrigation regularly yes. I think this infection would be far worse without it.

i just saw my ENT. She feels the Augmentin is not working and is switching me to Vantin. Has anyone tried this? It showed better sensitivity to the Klebsiella than the Augmentin. I'm not sure why we didn't start here. In addition the ENT is having me irrigate my sinuses twice per day with a mixture of Saline, Mupuricin, a steroid, and also some Manuka honey which has shown to be a probiotic in the sinuses. I hope this works! She mentioned that Klebsiella can be stubborn and I may need an extended course of antibiotics to kill it.

I'm having trouble keeping my weight up between the hyperthyroid and constant infections. Does anyone use any dairy free/low sugar shake powders that are good? I don't like Ensure.

ENT also mentioned that I should see an immunologist. She said I might need IGG therapy. I was on Remicade and Imuran for years before my pouch. I wonder if this could have permanently depleted my immune function?

It's starting to feel like my old UC days again.
