Do probiotics seem to make your child worse?

I know it is so important to get these probiotics into our children, but they have always caused a problem here. Tried over and over....and over to get all kinds into her. What is your experience? Thanks

I do not notice positive or negative effects from them or Sacc B. We use Healthy Origins Probiotic 8 strain 30 Billion CFU.

I have not had any luck with the probiotics either. Yesterday I got a new one: Ultimate Flora by Renew Life. I was told that the "key" was to go really slow - first just a sprinkle of the capsule for a couple of days, see how it goes, then add a bit more, check how it goes...if ok, then add more, etc. So, we'll see. I'll report back if a success or not.

My son uses the Ultimate Flora 30 billion . He has used this for several years and he has not had any problems. He takes it a night before going to bed.

 

I know there are a few strains that PANS/PANDAS kids are supposed to stay away from because they can make things worse. I have stuck with the Ultimate Flora because it does not have those stands in it. I just wish I could remember the names of those strands. Maybe someone else knows that information and can post it. Whatever you chose to use, I would go low, slow, and easy with the probiotic.
