Reaction To Bicillin Injection?

My poor baby is having a terrible time. Last Thursday he had a fever of 102, so I treated him with Motrin. He complained of a throat ache and unfortunately the Drs offices were already closed and would be closed on Good Friday. Saturday morning at 2 am, his temp shot up to 104. The Drs office was open on Saturday morning so I borught him in. He had strep and bronchitis. They gave him a Bicillin injection in the office and had us to wait around for 20 minutes to be sure of no allergic reaction. He was fine. But when we got him home he started having seizures. He does have a seizure disorder, so we figured it was just b/c he wasn't feeling well. We let him sleep and when he woke up he had 2 more seizures and was very lethargic and disoriented. We took him to the ER and he had 2 more seizures there and they admitted him. He did fine overnight and had one minor seizure Sunday afternoon, but the Dr felt comfortable increasing his seizure meds and releasing him. The Dr believed the seizures were from his body fighting over time b/c of the infection. So he did well on Sunday. Monday afternoon he grabbed the back of his head and had another seizure. Then he had 2 more very small ones. Today, just this morning, he's already had 3. He is sleeping all the time b/c the seizures wear him out. He wants to play, like a 3 yr old should be playing, but he can't seem to find his feet and he's weak. I called the Dr again and I'm almost certain they will admit him again. I am so concerned and confused. Bicillin is on the gluten free list, but all of this seizure activity started after the injection. He is supposed to start school tomorrow (special-ed preschool to receive his therapy) but I can't send him if he can't even walk. Has anyone else experienced something like this after penicillin? He's always done fine with Amoxicillin...

Can't help as to what's happening but it's not a gluten thing. Injectables don't contain gluten.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
