MamaOnAMission Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I am hoping that she tolerates them better since she is kind of stable on the doryx and bactrim. I have several bottle of probiotics handy. I have types of custom probiotics, cultuelle and new chapter all flora. Any suggestions? Is one more gentler or tolerated by our children? I am looking at strains but not too knowledgeable about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Maybe try 1 of the culturelle first. This is a good one, not overwhelming. Not sure which Custom Probiotics you have there, my dd did not do well with their d-lactate free brand, But the others they make: 11 strain, 6 strain, and CP1 dd has done very well on (and these do not contain strep strain- we avoid those) Klaire therabiotic detox is a very good one, and also like the brand Theralac.

rowingmom Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 We use RenewLife Ultimate Flora (50 billion) and 2x PB8 (14 billion) daily. We alternate additions of AOR ProBiotic3, Mutaflor and InnoVite DDS Plus through the week. Start slowly and ramp up through a few weeks, as there is a possibility of herx because of improper intestinal flora die-off. DD11 has never had a problem with probiotic supplementation.

philamom Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I know your daughter reacts easily to meds/supps (as does mine), so if it was my child I would start with a kids or baby version of probiotics. The Culturelle kids packet has 15 billion per packet. You could even start with 1/2 or 1/4 packet daily or every other day. You can slowly add more or switch/add a different brand. I recently started my daughter on Nystatin for yeast (second time on it). She was to take 1 pill twice daily (I think most children do at least 3 pills daily) but her herx was so bad that we had to take it down to one pill daily. After 5 days, I will try to incease back to twice daily. If the once daily remains a problem, I will try once daily every other day for a while. You might try something like this. Its important to be on some type of probiotic while on abx - my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
