According to the product information on the Culturelle web site, the adult Culturelle contains 10 billion units while the children's contains 1.5 billion. So, it appears you'd have to give about 7 of the children's doses to equal one adult dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaOnAMission Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 What probiotics do you use Nancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomWithOCDSon Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 What probiotics do you use Nancy? We use a Jarrow sach boulardii (10 billion units) and a 50-billion unit blend (it's got about 10 different cultures in it) by Renew Life, both of which I get at the Vitamin Shoppe. We're off antibiotics now, though, so we're only giving one each per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaOnAMission Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I ran out of the culturelle so I was going to give the custom probiotics (D-Lactate free) that I have in fridge. Praying she tolerates it! In the future I would like to find something cheaper and as effective. I will have to look around. Thanks so much for the help!

MamaOnAMission Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 So is the key, to get in as many different strains as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomWithOCDSon Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 So is the key, to get in as many different strains as possible? Honestly, I don't know. Some kids seem to do better on different probiotics, so I guess it's possible some strains bother some people, while others are beneficial. We used the multi-strain initially because we figured the abx was killing off pretty much everything, so to repopulate his gut fully back to a "normal" level, the multi-strain was the best idea. Then it seemed to help both DS and me in terms of digestive health overall, so we stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
