Honey in infant: It's unlikely he consumed enough to cause problems, but just monitor for a few days for any signs of significant muscle weakness, like all of a sudden I'm not crawling anymore. Our concern is about botulism, so read up more on this at CDC website at CDC.gov

Question 7

is gold crown bad or good?

Accepted Answer

Great, unless front!: Even with a the fancy materials dentists have to chose from to fabricate crowns from, you'll find that many dentists select cast high Nobel gold crowns for themselves when the tooth isn't in the esthetic zone! The answer is that gold wears like natural tooth structure, is kind to the opposing teeth and is very biocompatible. So gold molar crowns are great!  Ask ur dentist about front teeth!

Treat the cause: There are multiple causes of gastritis and the cause needs to be treated. Honey, per se, is not a treatment for any disease.

Question 9

can a 7 month old have honey?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Natural honey is often contaminated by botulism spores. Infants fed honey can develop paralysis of their breathing muscle (and die) if the spores grow in their intestine and start making toxin. Honey is avoided until after a year of age when their digestive system has matured and the risk has passed.

Question 10

how does honey cause botulism?

Accepted Answer

Intestinal growth: Spores of clostridium botulinum bacteria can be found in honey. When a child less than a year old ingests these spores they may not move them through the GI tract fast enough to prevent them from growing in the tract. When the bacteria begins to grow in the infant's intestinal tract it creates a toxin that leads to botulism.
