hi Vicky, Andy Cutler recommends using MUCH more than the

recommended amount (on the bottle)--- like 10 x the amount.

I don't have a quote of him about this handy. FWIW.

I am giving my daughter (3 yrs old about 35 lbs) just a sprinkle of a

probiotic with numerous different kinds in it but mostly lactobaculus

acidophilus. It makes her wild! She pulled everything out of my closet the

other day, including the shelves that weren't attached. I am working on

strapping the dressers and shelves in our house to the walls while she is at

school during the day.

I have not taken yeast out of her diet while giving her probiotics.

My questions: Am I waisting my time or are the probiotics still working on

getting rid of the yeast? How long should it take to " clean her out " ? I

have considered giving her more over the weekend while she is not in school

in a hope to get this over with & her get back to normal again.

Thanks for any advise.
