HELP...Pro-Biotics and loose stools....dosing...appropriate?

[Guest guest]

I am desperate for some help on the use of pro-biotics....

Background:

22 month old autitic son...GFCF, low-soy, low phenols about 3 months..

Supplements: DMG w/ folinic, SNT, CLO, Pro-EFA, Citramin II, Zinc,

Glutathione cream and nebulizing 1x day, Saccharomyces Boulardi,

Ther-biotic detox support from Klaire labs(all for about 2 1/2 months

My son has loose stools for 22 months, his whole life.

He doesn't eat enough fruit to have it from fiber.

I thought it was from giving him flax seed oil, CLO, and Pro-Efa (tsp.

of each in the morning...so I cut out the flax and CLO...but at the

same time someone mentioned I may be doing something wrong with his

pro-biotics...so I cout the Saccharomyces Boulardii to 1 capsule per

day and the Klaire Labs Ther-Biotic Detox support to 2 capsules per

day..

I began to see a little improvement.....for about 2 days.....my Dan

Dr. says to go on the SCD diet primarily for stools and things we will

see more improvements...she also is switching me from DMG to TMG and

having me eliminate the Pro-Efa and use a little more CLO along with

evening primrose oil.

My real question here is what could be causing the loose stools

here.....how am I really supposed to be using the pro-biotics?

Are you supposed to continue taking the Sacch. B. along with the mixed

strain of the pro-biotic???

Any ideas on how we should be using these 2 products would be

wonderful.....

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to help....

If anyone has experience with the SCD...do you think it is really

worth a try at least for stool i

You listed quite a few supplements as well as food eliminations. What

have you seen in terms of positives or negatives?

I take it he has continued with diarrhea before doing all this,

during these interventions, and afterwards?

When I hear of diarrhea, I think of the body trying to flush

something undesirable out of the body. This could be due to a number

of things.

Is the therabiotic a probiotic? I would give more of the probiotics,

maybe even 3 times a day. I gave Culturelle three times a day to my

son with constipation problems and it helped (granted it was a

different problem). I gave it in the morning with breakfast,

midafternoon, and at bedtime. Maybe consider a different type of

probiotic as well. Theralac gets good reviews. I have been happy with

Florajen from my pharmacist.

Enzymes can be very helpful in regulating stools. Consider that if

you haven't already.

SCD might help with stools. If he is eating something he doesn't

tolerate, or if the gut has bacteria. Diarrhea can be caused by

viruses too. Do you have any reason to suspect either of these?

My son never did tolerate any probiotics. If you saw some improvement

by cutting the probiotics, try stopping them entirely for a few days,

see if that helps.

If I give my son 1 ProBio Gold (Kirkmans) his stools are perfect. If

I give him 2, they turn to mush.
