Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 DS has been taking PB 8 probiotic in between meals, mostly on days that he has eaten bread. He also takes AFP Pep and Zyme at every meal, and a 1/3 NF capsule when he's had salicylates or phenol foods. My question is: ever since adding bread or flour products on a regular (1-2 times per week) basis, he has had an itchy rash on the upper part of his back. Hydrocortisone calms it, but it seems to come and go, and I just connected this to his having bread at night with no probiotic the night before last--I hadn't seen the rash in about a week, and I gave him PB 8 a couple of times yesterday even though he had no bread...and today I noticed the rash was back, looking pretty red today. Does this sound like wheat intolerance to anyone? He has NO other symptoms, other than having major tantrums a few hours after having any flour products. I am not sure I am using the PB 8 correctly, although I can tell it's made a major improvement in his temperament. If he has bread/wheat/flour and no PB 8 that day, he will have a major meltdown. Should I give the PB 8 every day, regardless of what's in the diet? And is once or twice per day enough? I hate to see him avoid eating any bread or flour at all (hate baking GF, what a pain). I've also noticed that if he has flour with no sugar (pie crust on fruit pie) he seems fine. If I give him regular white-flour chocolate chip cookies (even with NF to help with the chocolate), he will go off the deep end. TIA!
