Doc warns about probiotics

We found this to be true and discovered it ourselves with our son 2 years ago. We were easily able to find another chewable probiotic. I have had only 1 specialist tell me to stay away from it as yet...

Thanks for this info - had no idea!

I have noticed this firsthand! As a matter of fact, I give only probiotics that do not contain strep thermophilis. However....we were on a nice roll with the doxycycline (as I posted on forum a few days ago), and then we had a rough spot. I was scrambling to figure out what was different or if this was delayed herx. The only thing different was that the Princess had started making yogurt parfait with fresh strawberries at night. After a few months of eating disorder, I was thrilled that she was doing this, especially since she needs probiotics because of the doxy. I started looking for answers and discovered that ALL dairy has strep thermophilis as the active culture that causes it to become yogurt, kefir, etc. I did my own little experiment. No yogurt for a couple of days resulted in a happy daughter again. Not scientific but interesting to note. Mmmmmm..........
