Probiotic

[melanie]

Dan as always had issues with probiotics. I need to use one now but it has to be one that is for our type kid. He's 19 155 lbs 5'10". Need to do some gut cleaning too. Flagyl??

For gut cleaning, maybe bentonite clay? Worked well for us.<br /><br />What kind of issues has Danny had in the past, and which kind of probiotic?

I don't know anything about gut cleaning except change in diet. Do you take clay or do you soak in a bath? A friend with cancer detoxed by rotating her baths with minerals and clay.

Ok I read about it and whats the side effects?? Is it better to give the capsules? or the liquid??? Will that help clear his gut and work as a probiotic ?? Sorry but no one in the whole world knows these answers but you guys??

I don't think clay has any probiotic qualities, but it can help "sweep out" the gut and get rid of detritus, etc. there. We've used both the liquid and the capsules. Liquid is a little thick and "grainy," but if you stir well and have him drink it down immediately therefore, you can hide a couple of tablespoons pretty well in a glass of juice.

 

Without knowing what he's responded badly to in terms of probiotics, or what the response was, it's hard to suggest anything in particular. Have you tried some of the higher grade, more expensive ones like Klaire Labs or Florastor?
