Have you tried the probiotic S. Boulardi with your PANDAS child? How did it work for you?

 

We've been using it for the last year while DS has been on antibiotics. It's great, especially with respect to the fact that it can be dosed at the same time as antibiotics because the abx doesn't kill it, and because it's very effective against diarrhea that the abx can cause, too. "FloraStor" is our favorite brand, found behind the pharmacist's counter.

just trying to be double sure.....

i asked at herbal store i go to...they said don' t do that....i asked as i heard you can and it is very difficult to get all the supplements in during the day...

giving at the same time doesn't create die-off...

it doesn't waste the abx by wasting its time on probiotics as opposed the other bad bacteria....

 

i would really like to dose this at the same time too...just very hesitant....

We are on our 2nd month with the SACCHAROLMYCES BOULARDII+MOS (5 billion) which is the same ingredients as Flora stor. We could not find Flora stor either so they recommended this and it passed the ND testing (not sure how it works) with flying colors. It is the Jarrow Forumula.

I wouldn't doubt that it might be ideal to dose MANY things separately, but like you've said, there just aren't enough hours in the day.

 

When talking probiotics, I think a lot of people get the different strains confused, and even folks you would THINK would know the difference, don't. Many years ago, during the age of ear infections with our much younger DS, the pediatrician recommended FloraStor (sach along with the amoxicillin he was taking for otitis medea . . . said yogurt and kefir are great options for kids, but that the primary culture in those -- acidolpholus -- IS killed off by antibiotics while sach b. is not.

 

More recently, this same pediatrician recommended Culturelle (lactobacillus) because it, too, is impervious to antibiotics.

 

Now, in full disclosure, the last two years have led me to be generally distrustful of the full, accurate body of knowledge of almost EVERY health professional, so even I am unwilling to take her word for gospel. What's led me to believe she's right this time is the last two years of our own experience. With school, odd-hour meals on weekends and holidays, etc., we've been dosing DS simultaneously with sach b., lactobacillus and a handful of other cultures (such as bifo) for more than a year, and we've seen no negative effects on the efficacy of either the abx or the probiotics. So now I believe the ped on this one!

 

One warning, though; we've now completely OFF digestive enzymes. They CAN impact efficacy of abx and other meds and supplements, in time-release formulas. Learned that the hard way.

We've used the Jarrow brand, also, and would also vouch for its efficacy; I think it might also be less expensive per dose than FloraStor, also. In our area, though, you have to get the Jarrow at a health food or vitamin store while FloraStor you can get at almost any standard pharmacy, which is why I mentioned it by name.
