Guest guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Share Posted May 25, 2001 Hello Listmates: I've been trying to figure out just how many bacteria are recommended. I know that Andy recommends about 10 times the normal daily amount, but how much is that. You can buy many differnet versions of probiotics, some with 2 billion and some with 10 billion per serving. So how much do I need to give daily for a 65 lb boy who doesn't really have any gut issues? Currently I'm giving 10 billion per day. In Christ's love and mine...Jen : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 My son's DAN doc suggested 10 billion to keep Candida in check. My son was on Nystatin Powder for several years, and was found to have just a slight problem a couple of years ago, and he suggested that the pro-biotics would probably take care of it. I still give him 10 billion to keep on top of it. Blessings, Lindy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~--- In @y..., " L.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I think you will find you don't actually need 2 free hours to give probiotics. There are a few supplements that need to be taken separately, but most can be given together or close together. Since I haven't done probiotics in a while... could somebody list the supps that need to be kept away from probiotics? Enzymes? GSE? OLE? I can't remember!

Can he have them about an hour after > breakfast? Depends on the probiotic. Some should be taken with food, some on an empty stomach. Check the label, or contact the supplier.

Enzymes? GSE? OLE? > I can't remember! They should be given at least two hours apart from anything that qualifies as an anti-bacterial, like OLE, GSE [works on some bacteria but not others], certain enzymes, or similar. And saccB, because it is a yeast-probiotic, should be given away from anything that qualifies as an anti-fungal. Otherwise, you can give them with other supplements.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Does that mean it should be kept apart from lysine as well? And virastop? rats...

I don't think it affects bacteria. >> And > virastop? Yes, the bacteria-related probiotics. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
