Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Annie, How old is your child? do you just give one capsule a day? Thanks judy ________________________________ From: Annie <akannielm@...> Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 12:58:29 AM Subject: Re: [ ] probiotics instead of yogurts We use Udo's Choice for adults. It has something like 15 billion units per capsule. They also have one for kids, but we both used the adult one. If you have a health food store nearby, you should be able to get it there or have them order it for you. The other thought is to see if the Nature's Way place will mail it to you. Our doctor sells IFlora, but I don't remember which one they recommend. Sorry, I'm not much help. I never had any luck with online ordering for probiotics because their descriptions weren't thorough enough, ie. didn't say how many units they contain. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi Judy, My daughter was 12 when we started. She's 15 now. We only took 2 a day but our doc sugggested 3 or even 4 a day if we were having difficulty.We had to seperate it from AB by 1/2 hour. If I remember correctlly his suggestion was to take 30+ billion units a day. We never had any trouble unless we forgot it for a few days. I would ask your doc what he suggests. Ours said it could be very difficult to get rid of the intestinal trouble once it started. There's an illness you can get. Someone else may remember what it's called, but apparently it can be serious. Because of that, he told us if we had the trouble for 3 or more days that we should call right away and stop our AB until we got ahold of him. I don't know how long your son has been having dificulty, but a call to your doc might be a good idea. You really want to make sure he's not getting dehydrated as well. All my best to you and yours, Annie ________________________________ From: jchabot <jchabot@...> Sent: Wed, October 14, 2009 9:49:18 AM Subject: Re: [ ] probiotics instead of yogurts-Annie Annie, How old is your child? do you just give one capsule a day?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 HI Annie, Yes, it is called C-Difficile. My son had it once before. It was horrible, and I don't want him getting that on top of everything else. Oh boy 30 billion units?!!! The stuff I have is only 1 billion unit. thanks so much!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 You're very welcome. I've heard it's horrible. Our doc told us it was really tough to get trid of. Hasn't your doc given you any perameters for the probiotics, especially since he's had that illness before? I don't know how young your child is or how many ab he's taking, so I don't know if 30 Bil is right for him. We were both taling about 3 ab at the time. ________________________________ From: jchabot <jchabot@...> Sent: Wed, October 14, 2009 11:11:07 AM Subject: Re: [ ] probiotics instead of yogurts-Annie HI Annie, Yes, it is called C-Difficile.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am bringing him to his pediatrician this afternoon so I can ask for suggestions, as well as a flu shot, etc, but the problem is, my son was only diagnosed with a positive ELISA, and had a negative Western Blot. I took him to Dr. where he gave him the diangosis of lyme, so my son's doctor doesn't feel he even has it.. This is my 3rd time going there this week( and my last) My son almost ended up being hospitalized when he had C- difficle. He is 8 yrs old and is on Zithromax and Rifampin for antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Can you call Dr. ? I know the garbage with the reg. docs. I have stories as do so many. It's so hard when the person you're going to for help totally invalidates you. He's on strong ab, which is good, but I really doubt 1 bil. units is enough for what he's taking. Remember to not take the pro-b with in 1/2 hour of ab. My daughter was older when we started taking these meds so I don't know how much is right for him. I'm sure Dr. ' office could tell you. All my best to you and your little guy. Eight is so young to be dealing with this. But thank God you got him diagnosed! It's so hard on little one's because their immune system isn't fully functional. He's blessed to have you.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am giving this doctor one final chance today. If they don't fullfill everything I wish them to do,(which is nothing above the standard care my son should recieve), I will be telling them I would like my son's records, and i will find a new doctor. I am going to come right out and ask if they are open to talking with Dr. , and if the reply is " no " than I'll have my answer. It is a conveniant doc, seeing it is only a 5 minute drive, but I am definitley willing to sacrifice a drive for my son's care. I think I will call Dr. tomorrow anyway if my son is still not tolerating the meds well. thanks so much Hugs judy ________________________________ From: Annie <akannielm@...> Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 12:03:53 PM Subject: Re: [ ] probiotics instead of yogurts-Annie Can you call Dr. ?

We were both taling about 3 ab at the time. ____________ _________ _________ __ From: jchabot <jchabotsnet (DOT) net> Sent: Wed, October 14, 2009 11:11:07 AM Subject: Re: [ ] probiotics instead of yogurts-Annie HI Annie, Yes, it is called C-Difficile. My son had it once before. It was horrible, and I don't want him getting that on top of everything else. Oh boy 30 billion units?!!! The stuff I have is only 1 billion unit. thanks so much!

She's 15 now. We only took 2 a day but our doc sugggested 3 or even 4 a day if we were having difficulty.We had to seperate it from AB by 1/2 hour. If I remember correctlly his suggestion was to take 30+ billion units a day. We never had any trouble unless we forgot it for a few days. I would ask your doc what he suggests. Ours said it could be very difficult to get rid of the intestinal trouble once it started. There's an illness you can get. Someone else may remember what it's called, but apparently it can be serious. Because of that, he told us if we had the trouble for 3 or more days that we should call right away and stop our AB until we got ahold of him. I don't know how long your son has been having dificulty, but a call to your doc might be a good idea. You really want to make sure he's not getting dehydrated as well.

It has something like 15 billion units per capsule. They also have one for kids, but we both used the adult one. If you have a health food store nearby, you should be able to get it there or have them order it for you. The other thought is to see if the Nature's Way place will mail it to you. Our doctor sells IFlora, but I don't remember which one they recommend. Sorry, I'm not much help. I never had any luck with online ordering for probiotics because their descriptions weren't thorough enough, ie. didn't say how many units they contain. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Good for you! I hope it went well. I haven't had a GP for myself since I was diagnosed. My LLMD has been willing to serve as that role for me, but I really need to find one nearby. I'm just so mistrusting at this point due to all the garbage we've endured over the years. All my best to you!

If they don't fullfill everything I wish them to do,(which is nothing above the standard care my son should recieve), I will be telling them I would like my son's records, and i will find a new doctor. I am going to come right out and ask if they are open to talking with Dr. , and if the reply is " no " than I'll have my answer. It is a conveniant doc, seeing it is only a 5 minute drive, but I am definitley willing to sacrifice a drive for my son's care. I think I will call Dr. tomorrow anyway if my son is still not tolerating the meds well. thanks so much Hugs judy ____________ _________ _________ __ From: Annie <akannielm (DOT) com> Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 12:03:53 PM Subject: Re: [ ] probiotics instead of yogurts-Annie Can you call Dr. ? I know the garbage with the reg. docs. I have stories as do so many. It's so hard when the person you're going to for help totally invalidates you. He's on strong ab, which is good, but I really doubt 1 bil. units is enough for what he's taking. Remember to not take the pro-b with in 1/2 hour of ab. My daughter was older when we started taking these meds so I don't know how much is right for him. I'm sure Dr. ' office could tell you. All my best to you and your little guy. Eight is so young to be dealing with this. But thank God you got him diagnosed! It's so hard on little one's because their immune system isn't fully functional. He's blessed to have you.

I took him to Dr. where he gave him the diangosis of lyme, so my son's doctor doesn't feel he even has it.. This is my 3rd time going there this week( and my last) My son almost ended up being hospitalized when he had C- difficle. He is 8 yrs old and is on Zithromax and Rifampin for antibiotics.
