Probiotics-Trouble Tolerating

[JenniferG]

I am having a difficult time finding a probiotic that doesn't make my dd tic. We tried Culturelle, Sach B- Florastor and Klaire, Klaire. We have tried multi strand, single strand and now are trying SBO. She is doing better on SBO but I can't increase it past sprinkles.

My ds doesn't have ticcing, just OCD, so it's harder to measure the effects of probiotics, but he has big, big issues with SaccB; our new theory is that it killed off something that had been keeping some bad germs in check in the intestines, as I had given it to him just prior to the sudden-onset OCD (he has lyme/bart/strep/myco).

 

Klaire never seemed to do anything positive. I use Culturelle (GG is L. Rhamnosus, if I recall) only when he has a constipation issue.

 

Other ones to try: Align, which is B. Infantis; other bifido versions.

 

Right now he is on VSL#3, which is heavy-duty but seems to be helping keep things straight (keep c.diff away), as he is on three antibiotics plus nystatin.

Our PANS NP/RN specified Klaire Detoxification formula, which does not contain inactivated strep bacteria for ds15.

 

I take Klaire Complete formula (has strep) on the advice of my FM MD.

 

Which Klaire was your dd on?

 

Oh, also dd20 tolerated VLS#3 when she was about 17 yrs. old (for IBS).
