For those who give high-dose probiotics...

[sf_mom]

So, we've been guided all along by a nutritionist that works with a lot of individuals that have suffered from auto-immune..... including herself. Bentonite Clay should firm things up but at the same time you are countering with probiotics..... We have never had an issue with constipation. What you are really trying to do, is have your child poop the toxin's out (potentially ingested or thrown off from bacteria) before it overwhelms the body and gets back into their organs. AND, we all know our kids immune systems are HYPER ACTIVATED. We started out with just a 1/4 cup in morning and 1/4 cup in evening and worked our way up to 1/2 cup morning, afternoon and evening.

 

Look at it like you are essentially, taking away some of the toxin processing off the body while repairing gut. I recommend Donna's book as a starting point, not the best written book but definitely makes her point and the message is good. Repair gut... resolve auto-immune.

 

As of today.... our son is taking 1.5 trillion units, 1 1/2 cup bentonite clay, 10 x 5000 m.g. b-12 per day and we are seeing some tremendous healing. Goal is: two plus poops a day, brown in coloring, 4 to 6 inches long, 1 1/2 inch thick and easily eliminated 'not too hard, not too soft', one wipe, normalized PH balances. It may seem funny but that is the goal. Our son just registered his first NORMAL urine PH yesterday after 12 weeks so something is working!!!!
