Re: need advice on enzymes and probiotic-which brand is best?

[Guest guest]

For the enzymes, I would go with Houston. Probiotics are trial and error on

which suits your child. I have heard good things about Therabiotic complete

but haven;t tried it myself. We use CP1 and BioKult

I recently had a phone consult with a DAN doctor that suggested

the following enzyme and probiotic (enzyme is Simalase Jr. by Tyler;

probiotic is Therabiotic complete) for my son? Has anyone tried

them and what are your views on them? Also

For enzymes the best bet is Houstons to try first. My second choice is

Enzymedica, particularly if you have 'special needs' concerning enzymes

(like reactions to any fillers or some condition where a specialty enzymes

may be more helpful). Thropps makes a good broad-spectrum too (Ultra-zyme

Plus).

Simalase Jr. by Tyler is an older one that that doctors are familiar with

but the ones listed above have given better results by people posting here.

Does your insurance cover the Similase or other enzymes at all?

For probiotics, this varies by person and need. One of my sons did really

well with Culturelle for bacteria and colon problems. www.vrp.com or

www.vitacost.com have the best prices.

There is also Florajen which I get at my pharmacist - www.florajen.com. And

Klaire Labs long-time specialty has been probiotics- I haven't tried the

newer one called Therabiotic you mentioned, but have read good reports on

it.

And one that is relatively new and getting great reviews was Thera-lac from

www.theralac.com.

I know this message is a few days old (I'm really far behind) but I think they

have the powder version in stock. My son has been doing so well with the 3

enzymes I'd be a nervous wreck if we ran out!
