Sounds like a possible reaction to the enzyme. Does he have a

papain/bromelain problem? If so, consider AFP Peptizyde.

If he is not already gfcf, might be withdrawal symptoms from that.

Can die-off occur when addressing a high strep titer with antibiotics? Ben has

been AWFUL for 2-3 weeks (about the same amt. of time as he's been on the

antibiotic). He is extremely irritable and very defiant. Anyone with a similar

experience?

Thanks!

Morning!

>>On Wednesday night on an empty stomach, we gave our son 1/4 of a

capsule of Culturelle (2.5 billion Lactobacillus GG) right before

heading to bed. We gave him that dose again upon waking on Thursday.

Thursday he had less stimming, better ABA sessions (more attentive,

more language and great articulation), and no BM. He got 1/4 cap. of

Culturelle before bed on Thursday and upon waking this morning. He had

nice ABA sessions and had an average day stim-wise. He had a " perfect "

BM at 2:00 pm and I celebrated (too soon). He since has had 2 more

BMs. The first was stinkier and softer than his 2:00 BM...but not

" concerning. " I just changed his third BM about 15 minutes ago and the

potency of the odor is still with us! Loose with " curds " and

yellowish. The circles under his eyes have darkened a bit more.

This was my son's exact experience with Culturelle. I kept using it

for two more weeks, hoping it was die off, but it wasn't. So for my

son, Culturelle helped get rid of his existing bacteria issue, but as

soon as the bms were formed again, I had to remove it or things would

deteriorate.

It might be die off for your child, so you can continue if you want.

But if things don't improve again, consider removing the Culturelle.

Good luck.
