Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Just curious...what brand and dosage does everyone use? My son was on Solaray Multidophilus (1 Billion) 3x/day. Our bottle is almost empty and I was going to try a different brand. His OAT showed definite signs of yeast. Anyone have any suggestions? Any luck with any particular brands? And if so, what dosage? My son is 3 years old and weighs 38 lbs. We are already on Diflucan and will begin Valtrex next week. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 We were recommended Klaire Ther-biotic detox. It has 50 billion I think. We just started that one. We were told to NOT get the complete because it has strep something in it. Before we were on one that has been formulated for autistic kids, called HLC Mindlinx. It has some additional probiotics that are supposed to help with digesting proteins such as casein. It has l- glutamine in it, which has many good qualities such as gut healing, but it is also considered an excitotoxin by some. We liked it but I'm not sure about the glutamine and we just restarted chelation so we thought we'd try the Klaire. - Theresa B -- In mb12 valtrex , " samsmom032003 " wrote: > > Just trying to bump this forward...I really could use some advise/ > suggestions on this.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 You meant that your daily dosage is 450billion per day? Is it too much? Have you refer to your Dan! doctor?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Have no DAN! doc, I am an MD and have papers on this formulation of high dose probiotics helping in ulcerative colitis and prevention of pouchitis so if the gut is colonized by bad bugs, more good bugs should help. We have not been very aggressive with antifungals and it would seem over time this problem has resolved presumably in part due to the mega-dose probiotics.You meant that your daily dosage is 450billion per day?Is it too much?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 FROM FAQs on www.vsl3.comCan I take VSL#3® if I have an intolerance to dairy products?Some dairy ingredients are used in the culture medium but are removed during fermentation and concentration. There might be trace amounts at very low levels and, for this reason, VSL#3® is not defined as a dairy-free product but as a non-dairy product. Evidence suggests that probiotics may be useful in the treatment of patients with lactose maldigestion and lactase deficiency. Recent studies have demonstrated that lactose is better digested from yogurt than from milk by lactase-deficient individuals and yogurt ingestion by these patients is paralleled by reduced symptoms. Many patients confirmed that their intolerance was greatly reduced with the use of VSL#3®. If you are lactose intolerant, you may wish to start with a very low intake of VSL#3® to see how you respond before increasing the amount.Back to topCan you use VSL on a casein-free diet?e> > > > > I only quite recently discovered the unbelievable importance of pro-> > > biotics as a part of this protocol.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Ted, Does this probiotic require a prescription? Also, how long can you use it for?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006  We tried the VSL#3 and it flipped my four year old out. He was so wound up that we had to stop. I have alot of it, so I might try again later, but only about a tenth of a packet. Stacie Re: Probiotics Have had good success with VSL #3 (450 billion bugs per dose). I only quite recently discovered the unbelievable importance of pro-biotics as a part of this protocol. My 3 year old currently only receives one Pro-bio gold capsule a day (in the morning with breakfast). I believe it is 20 billion count. What is everyone else using? I see where other parents are giving much more and rotating them. What brands do you guys suggest? How much and how often do you give these? Can you give too much probiotic? Thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Good to know your experience, maybe there is enough casein in VSL for a particularly sensitive kid. See my last thread, the company addresses that issue.We tried the VSL#3 and it flipped my four year old out. He was so wound up that we had to stop.
