Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 We just bought one at a natural foods store yesterday that my daughter, almost 3, liked. It’s made by Nature’s Way and its called Primadophilus kids. They have cherry and orange. Then there is one for older kids, it think its another raspberry flavor. This one you take once daily and the bottle needs to be kept refrigerated. It’s a 3 strain formula for kids age 2-12. It’s a small white bottle with a yellow lid.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 as someone suggested to me on this list....attune bars...chocolate....at safeway stores (vons, etc) in the yogurt section. They apparently taste good because my VERY picky daughter eats a half of one every evening without complaint. We just bought one at a natural foods store yesterday that my daughter, almost 3, liked.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Venus, That's a sure sign something in it didn't agree with her. I'm not 100% certain about this, but I believe that this is a man made strain. I thought I read this somewhere but can't find it at the moment. Also, It contains dairy, whey, casein, microcrystalline cellulose. Not sure if your child has a dairy or casein allergy, but this may be an indication. http://www.culturelle.com/files/culturelle/pdf/Culturelle_supplement_facts_EDH30.pdf Here's what I mean............. For years scientists had studied health benefits of a "good" bacteria called lactobacillus found in foods like yogurt, milk and certain cheeses. Of the strains they were able to isolate and test, they found that most could not consistently survive the strong acids of the stomach and intestinal bile. Enter Dr. Sherwood L. Gorbach and Barry R. Goldin. These two doctors embraced the challenge and set out to discover the ultimate probiotic power - a strain strong enough, sticky enough, fertile enough to survive the stomach acids and colonize in the intestines successfully. What they found was Lactobacillus GG. A probiotic unlike any other.Culturelle vs. Other Probiotics Most people I've spoke to say Lactobacillus Rhamous is the one to take for constipation. We had wonderful results with kirkman chewable. I wouldn't do a one size fits all b/c of her reaction. I'd go with a natural probiotic from a Chiro or Kirkman, the one's that need to be refrigerated. They are live bacteria and it makes me wonder when they start doing funky things with them that can stay on shelves.

We just bought one at a natural foods store yesterday that my daughter, almost 3, liked. It’s made by Nature’s Way and its called Primadophilus kids. They have cherry and orange. Then there is one for older kids, it think its another raspberry flavor. This one you take once daily and the bottle needs to be kept refrigerated. It’s a 3 strain formula for kids age 2-12. It’s a small white bottle with a yellow lid.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I really think, but not sure, that they made this probiotic and patented this............ http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/T080401.asp To: miralax Sent: Mon, May 31, 2010 3:07:53 PMSubject: Re: chewable probiotics? we are almost positive that culterelle made our daughter more aggressive and depressed. after 5 weeks of the worst raging ever..we stopped it 10 days ago....and she is back to normal now for about a week or so.still giving the attune though. it does not seem to bother her>> Marg, are you sure you can't have these?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 When I went to purchase culturelle, the health food store strongly cautioned against it for a child. They said that it is the strongest they carry, with all the bacterias listed at a dose of 10billion. The brand that my husband and I use (Jarro) is only at 5 billion, and the one we settled on for our 2 yr old is at 3billion, with strains specific to a child’s GI tract, whereas culturelle is specific to an adults GI tract. I encourage you to not give up on probiotics, there are different strains and doses, I think you’ll find one that works and gives pleasing results J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi Renae, Can you post a link to the one you are giving to your 2 y/o?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 These probiotics are only sold to health care practitioners (Chiro's etc.) This is the one ours recommended. Haven't tried as she won't take a powder. The only one she'll take is Kirkman's chewable. http://www.metagenics.com/ http://www.metagenics.com/products/a-z-products-list/Proboulardi To: miralax Sent: Tue, June 1, 2010 12:22:30 AMSubject: Re: chewable probiotics?
