Ebersolk Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 My daughter is currently on 100 Bactrim, 300 omnicef, 250 azith daily and then tindamax twice (once daily) on the weekends. She takes 1 theralac probiotic daily and two on the weekends (30 billion units) We are changing out the omnicef for rifampin either 300 mg daily or 600 (i have to check rx). What kind and dosage of probiotics do you recommend with this dose of medicine? To date she has not had any issues with what we are on but it seems like rifampin is stronger. Thanks!

philamom Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi Kerry. I like klaire ther-biotic detox support at 50+billion cfu's per capsule. I hope you see more improvement with the rifamphin! Melinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNN Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 My son was on the same combos as yours. We used Theralac daily and used Truflora twice a week. Never increased the probiotics above 30 Billion CFUs, tho I found it helpful to add garlic capsules to his dinnertime pills. We never had yeast issues that I could tell and a recent candida blood test came back negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, you don't mind me bugging you again. What is the brand and dosage of Psyllium Husk capsules you give your children? Also- how about the garlic capsules. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNN Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 We use NOW Foods psyllium husk capsules 500mg from amazon. We all take 1/day (works better when you drink plenty of fluids but I don't fight that battle). The bottle says you can take 3/day but that makes things too loose for my kids. 1/day or sometimes 2/day if transit is too slow. I'm not married to this brand - just easy to find in stores. Garlic I think was Spring Valley or Nature's Way 1000mg capsules 1/day. But again, wasn't married to the brand or dosage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeny Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 My dd is on rifampin/zith and we also use Klaires therbiotic one per day. Kerry are you giving bactrim and rifampin at the same time? Is that for Bart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebersolk Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 My daughter originally was dx with Bart and Ehrlicia. Most recent tests have not shown either but the Lyme is still there and we recently saw an increase in strep titers (from a low of 60 back up to over 400). She is allergic to penicillin so it is hard to find stuff that works. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teri Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 My Dd6 is on - Cipro -250mg 2x day, Cefnidir -250mg-1x per day , Rifampin 150mg -1x per day, & Lamisil -125mg. We give her 1 packet of kids Florastor -and add another if her stomach hurts. Dd was on Azithromycin 200mg daily since onset in Sept. 2011. She has recently had a big flair and her Myco Igg #s jumped up 400+ - so Dr. B had us add back in Cipro & drop Azithromycin. We are treating for Bart/Lyme/Pandas. Dr.J originally prescribed Rifampin 150mg 2x per day for Dd who is a petite 6 .5 year old at 40lbs. She couldn't tolerate that dosage - and she typically has an iron gut. She had immediate diarrhea after 1st day on 2 x Rifampin. As per Dr. J we went down to 1 dose and changed our Probiotic from Kids Primadopholous chewables to Florastor. That helped and she can tolerate the Rifampin @ 150 mg .... But she is complaining of stomach aches a lot - not sure what exactly is causing that. My advice ... Make sure you some good quality Probiotics! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philamom Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 We also use florastor for kids, culturelle kids chewable, and integrative probiotic pearls daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebersolk Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 How do you get the code to order from Klaire labs? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklemama Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 DS takes two Klaire TheraDetox (100billion) and 1 Yarrow saccromyces boulliardi a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklemama Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I get mine from directly from my doctor. You can order it online from other online retailers. The charge for a cold pack for shipping is hefty. If someone knows of a less expensive way to get it online, that is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philamom Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) How do you get the code to order from Klaire labs? Thanks.Its been a while since I signed up with the code, but I'll look through my file and see if I can find it. Someone here was kind enough to pass it along to me. You may be able to call Pro Thera directly and inquire. And yes, it is very expensive. I purchase 2 or 3 at a time to receive free shipping, but you still have to pay a fee to keep it cold with an ice pack. Once you receive it, you need to refrigerate. also- I suggest adding probiotics in slowly to avoid bloating. One daily or every other day before increasing, if desired.
