Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Terri, I notice that the study was in Belgium, and it can be assumed the products were European ones. I doubt many of the brands are the same as in the US. I have noticed differing potency among the brands I have tried over the years. Like others, I like the cheaper ones, but only if they work. The best two brands I have used, I say best because I KNOW they work for me and my family, are Solaray Multi-Dophilus and Jarrow-Dophilus. There are other good brands available, many overpriced, but you can tell if they are working when they make a cold go away, or prevent the onset of one. Or, solve diahrrea or constipation overnight. jim annhope1@... wrote: > > Hi all, > I just recieved an interesting piece of info on probiotics. > You might want to take a peak. > > http://www.mercola.com/2001/jul/11/probiotics.htm > > Terri L. > ----- The TRUTH in 11 words: Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened! -- anon jlambert@... http://www.entrance.to/madscience http://www.entrance.to/poetry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 > .The best two brands I have used, I say best because I KNOW they work for me > Jim, Glad you shared this as I was just going to purchase some. As a consumer I tend to trust but since being on Dr. Jon's list and part of his co-op my eyes have been opened. You know the co-op tests all the products they are interested in selling... most of which have not passed their criteria. I commend them for this testing and trust the products I'm buying plus the price is great. (just my personal feeling, not an advertisement) The web page where the probiotic info was published was by an American Dr. I did see where the study was done. I also saw where this Dr. suggested a certain product that he finds acceptable. I don't know that he specifically names many products in his newsletters. I do like his website... find alot of good info but that article makes me wonder. Maybe I'll send them a note... Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Dana, I would take either probiotics OR at least a couple tablespoons of plain, organic yogurt every day. You can mix that into a smoothie or something that he will eat/drink. I believe they do about the same thing. P.S. How is your son doing?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 With the caveat again that probiotics shouldn't be required at all as you should be growing your own in-situ using their natural food, probiotics need food to survive so taking them with food at least exposes them to some unknown percentage that they might be able to survive on. Basically you're starving ouit your probiotic culture right now so I don't know what else to tell you. Probiotic high-dosing might get you by until you can get your bowel culture under control, but even high-dosing will not populate the bowel contents; it will only propose a culture that you still have to feed. That said, VSL#3 is a very potent approach. Duncan On 10 Sep 2007 at 9:55, oxyplus wrote: > Probiotics > Posted by: " ectopistes@...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Be careful of what you pick if you decide to go that route-many probiotics are dairy based. We have never tried any with Maddie-our PID (also allergic to dairy)-but her older sister swears by just plain old acidophilus. She was having an upset stomach all the time-started taking just the cheap one from Wal-Mart, and is a different person.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Valarie, Both of our kids use Culturelle. It was recommended by our GI, pediatrician, and GSD specialist on separate occasions. It's in a capsule form, but if your kids can't swallow pills (ours can't) you can open it up and dissolve in water or another liquid to get them to take it. Ours have g tubes, so it's not an issue, but I would think if you put it in juice that it would mask it pretty well.

I went to a Whole Foods yesterday, and the selection was just so overwhelming, I had no idea waht I was looking at. Bc during the winter, my kids and I usually need multiple abx and steroids, and bc we are all prone to recurrent thrush, I thought this might be beneficial. I have in the past used just plain acidophilus but wondered if actual probiotics would be of more help? Also, I had purchased the yogurt with probiotic, but have to wonder if this has any benefit or is just a marketing ploy? At any rate, two of my kids are off dairy so the yogurt wouldnt help them at all, anyway. We dont see ID until late Dec, and I'd like to start soon with this to see if it helps, since we are already getting started on illnesses/steroids this winter. Does anyone have any they would recommend? Im just clueless as to what would be the best here.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 The absolute best way to consume a probiotic is by consuming cultured foods. Commercial yogurt is not very good, but homemade yogurt and keifer is (ferment it for 24 hours, not 6 like the yogurt maker says). If you can't do dairy, make cultured vegetables. If you don't want to make them, you can order them on line http://www.culturedvegetables.com/benefits.html - osdbmom <osdbmom@...> wrote: Ive been doing some reading about this, and am curious about the benefits of probiotics.
