Researchers say there were no major differences between patients except that some had received antibiotics while others had not. The researcher reports "We therefore recommend against giving antibiotics to children who may be infected with E.Coli until results of a stool culture indicate that (infection) responsible is one that is appropriately treated by an antibiotic."

Yet prescribing of antibiotics continue for E.coli suspected gastrointestinal problems!

Two treatments that I found to work without antibiotics are; First - Add Probiotic's to intestinal track to help take care of E.coli naturally. This addition will overcome and kill offending bacteria… Ecoli cannot take hold of your system when a balanced intestinal ecosystem exists. Better yet, have your intestinal tract so tuned up that Ecoli can't get access to it. See why http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/your_ecosystem.htm

Second - Take a tablespoon of Ionic Sliver Water morning and evening for five or six days, this is also known to kill offending bacteria, even those that hide in system that come out later and cause problems. With both these additions you and your child can enjoy summer.

Both of these should be kept in your medicine war chest (not in bathroom cabinet) as they are closest thing to helping most illnesses and keep immune system tuned up to ward off illnesses.
