Culturelle Question.


Recommended Posts

I ran out of the regular culturelle but have some kids culturelle laying around. I was giving one of the regular adult culturelle, and was wondering how many of the kids culturelle I should give. anyone know??? thanks so much.

 

I didn't know, but just Googled it. 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.

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.

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.
