Seeking Asthma Relief- The Role Of Antibiotics In Causing Asthma And Allergies

For the past forty years baby boomers and their children were given antibiotics on a regular basis to treat infections. This overuse has resulted in very dangerous resistance to superbugs that we’ve all read about in the news. You probably are aware now that infectious microorganisms and fungi that were once treatable have become much stronger and even deadly because they have mutated into hardy or resistant strains due to the use of antibiotics.

However, what many people and even your own doctor may not be aware of is that antibiotic use also results in an overgrowth of yeast and fungus in the intestinal tract. Eventually if this is not treated properly it can become systemic, meaning that it invades all systems of the body. This yeast or fungus overgrowth contributes to a lowering of the immune system where cancers and other pathogen overgrowths can develop. Patients looking for asthma relief would benefit by knowing that diseases like asthma and allergies are a result of yeast and fungus overgrowth or candida in the intestinal tract caused by frequent antibiotic use.

The symptoms of a yeast overgrowth problem can include: 1. Fatigue and foggy thinking. 2. Cravings for sugar or bread or any foods that contain yeast 3. Bloated abdomen, gas or abdominal pain. 4. Unable to lose weight 5. Vaginal, genital infection or itchy rashes. 6. A white coating on the tongue. 7. Sinus infections. 8. Loss of energy.

Other diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and Chrohn’s disease are linked to antibiotic use. In addition, studies have shown that antibiotic use has also been linked to the development of allergies, hayfever and asthma in children.  Medical associations in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia are aware of this but surprisingly many people and their doctors do not seem to be educated in this regard. Despite the superbug problem, antibiotics still seem to be asked for by patients and prescribed too often by their doctors. Boosting the immune system by eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise and adequate rest is often all that is needed to fight or prevent infections.

Children who are considered to suffer from severe asthma experience serious asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breathe despite taking high doses of inhaled corticosteroid drugs on a regular basis. Recent research has revealed that the decrease of airflow or lung capacity is more significant in adults than in children with asthma. This indicated that there is a connection to lung capacity decrease in adults who also suffered from severe asthma as a child.

Most interestingly, the study revealed that despite higher doses of inhaled corticosteroid and controller asthma drugs, children with severe asthma experienced a higher occurrence of daily symptoms as well as hospitalization during the previous year. Children with severe asthma also reported significantly lower lung function compared to those with mild or moderate asthma. A decline in lung function of 1 percent a year was more likely in children who had daily asthma symptoms of wheezing and coughing plus a sensitivity to air borne allergens.

If antibiotics are necessary, many patients are not made aware of the risks and more importantly what to do about them. When you take antibiotics, one of the side effects is that they kill the good bacteria or lactobacillus living in your intestinal tract. When this happens the candida yeast or fungus is allowed to grow unchecked and causes an imbalance.

The result of this imbalance can be allergy and asthma symptoms an other diseases. To their credit some doctors advise their patients to take yogurt and lactobacillus supplements immediately after a course of antibiotics to re-implant the bacteria and prevent yeast and fungus from taking over. If this is not done each time antibiotics are prescribed, then an overgrowth will result. Antibiotics such as penicillin are also known to have severe side-effects like anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction resulting in an asthmatic attack and eventually heart failure and death. Medical reports show that other antibiotics such as amoxycillin, ampicillin, cephalosporins, erythromycin tetracycline and spiramycin are known to cause asthma. Avoiding antibiotics whenever possible is important, but if you do have to take them be sure to take a good quality lactobacillus supplement and yogurt daily to restore your body’s balance of good bacteria.
