My son cannot tolerate probiotics- he does better with soy yogurt. He takes

Grapefruit Seed Extract when he has yeast.

I can recommend a good probiotic mostly because at first my daughter had die off

from it and then after I am fairly certain it has helped. Probiotics are tough,

kind of hard to measure. But another mom said the same thing, and that is how I

got turned onto it and she will swear by this one. But kind of pricey, 60 pills

for $51. I'm thinking it might be used more for extreme cases/times and when I

feel her stabilize more use something more generic/cheaper. And a side

benefit, one night when I had drank some wine, almost as a fluke I took a couple

of them to see if it would help my stomach because when ever I drink I get

horrible stomach hangover's. (Yes, working on some issues...) But it was

incredible, I woke up with no problem at all in the morning.

It's by Klaire, it's:

Ther-Biotic Detoxification Support

But we suffer from constipation, and probiotics didn't do the trick, as did many

of the other suggestions. For us, magnesium was the silver bullet. I give her:

Nature's Life, comes in mag. from oxide, citrate, malate 500 mg. a day and she

is now " normal " for the first time in her whole 8 years of life. (Need to note

that not all magnesium's are the same-so might need to do research on it a bit

but for us this works.) Of course Dana's site does a great job at listing out a

whole bunch of constipation ideas. Until we are able to further determine the

internal root to each case, it seems we all need to trouble shoot a bit to find

the fix per child. Ironically, (or then again maybe not...), magnesium was the

only thing that worked for my 3 yr old when last year he started up with the

same problem. Funny part was I tried everything else first! Guess I didn't

think of the magnesium because he can't swallow. But then it in a little

chocolate and we're set with him now too.
