This week I am doing the same thing, because we started him on OLE on Sunday 12/14, quickly ramping up to 5 drops per day by yesterday (Tuesday). He takes a daily probiotic. We just finished a bottle of Metagenics Ultra Flora DF (only 2 bacteria strains) and began the Kirkman Labs Pro-Bio Defense which has 8 strains, including S. Boulardii. He gets one cap per day, divided into two parts - one early am with breakfast, one late afternoon before dinner). Up until I received the Lauricidin and OLE I was trying to use GSE to fight the yeast flare ups but was only successful 50-75% of the time so I bought the other products to help with yeast, general immune support and viruses. We did not give him a flu shot this year so that's why I ramped up the OLE so fast. I am not currently using the GSE; I want to let the Lauricidin, OLE and Pro-BioD do their jobs. Side effects: he's a bit more energetic and alert in the daytime. He's happier, less fussy, and more patient when he's not tired. We've had no sleep problems yet, but bought liquid melatonin just in case when we ramp up the Lauricidin to 1 or 2 pellets a day. The best side effect is that he's speaking more frequently, in context to his surrounding. He's saying 'thank you.' He's singing more. His bowel movements are more firm and less frequent (only 2-3 per day instead of 6 or 8 soft, smelly ones). I can't wait until we ramp up the Lauricidin after he's on vacation from school for the holidays this Friday. FYI He is 5 years, 4 months and 48 lbs.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 We're using Lauricidin, GSE, and probiotics, not OLE. We had some problems where I thought that the probiotics shouldn't be given at the same time as the Lauricidin and GSE. Now I try to give probiotics after the meal, Lauricidin and GSE before the meal, so they're about an hour apart. It seemed to help with stimming and hyperness we were having, but can't say for sure. > I am using all these, and I just added licorice root, too.
