We use CP1 now - we used to use bio-acidophilus forte, but now we give 2 CP1s twice a day

Seems to be good

For a 5 year old and recommended by a well known DAN...

Hi,Can anyone please recommend a good probiotic that's suitable for a 4 year old? I looked at Custom Probiotic CP1 but it says it's an adult formula so not sure if I would be giving too much. ThanksHelen

Hi Helen,

I started with Bio-Kult on my then 2 year old son.  (1/2 a capsule in the am) we also used Super Nu Thera and bio-acidophilus when he was two with no adverse effects, I'm sure they are fine for a 4 year old.  I think with things as benign as probios if they say it's for adults then it's to cover their backs for legal reasons.

 

Even medications given to children on the NHS are not approved for children - it isn't ethical to test on children so they aren't approved for them.

The only question I have is that the Genova stool tests show 3 beneficial

bacteria required:

Lactobacillus

Escherichia Coli

Bifidobacterium

CP1 and bio-acidophilus forte both have 2 of them, (CP1 being 3 times the

quantity of viable cells), but neither appears to contain the escherichia Coli,

which apparantly makes K2 according to Wikpedia

Do we need to supplement escherichia coli (making sure it is not the E Coli

strain)

We recommend a lot of the Greek Yogurts for the live active cultures. For those

who do not like greek yogurt, we usually suggest Culturelle Probiotics. We've

had great results with both!

I have been recommending them more now since I had a number of pts have

good results with probiotics reducing gassiness/odor. We usually

recommend floragen 3, or I at least tell them to get one with

acidophilus AND bifidobacterium species combination.

I typically recommend Essential1: Digestive Health as it has acidophilis, bifidus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, and FOS. The benefits to our patients (according to them) include reduced gassiness, relief of/assistance with constipation/diarrhea, better lactose tolerance (because this product also comes with a digestive enzyme)............. and of course a better balanced gut flora helps support immune function.Hope this helps!Tammy Hutchisen RD, LDN, C-PTMid-land BariatricsFrederick, MDFrom: Bizzarro, A Civ

Hi Sue,

We often gave probios with something small to take the taste away and they were

still effective.

A warmish (but not too warm) temperature should be OK ... I'm thinking that we

make yoghurt in a yoghurt maker that is just a warm pot.

Best wishes, Sandy

It will mask the bacteria and make his body believe all is well and in fact a

MRProbiotics is a hot topic. We spent a whole morning at the last conf in London talking about tit.

You can see patents being on the works now :

http://www.freshpatents.com/-dt20100610ptan20100143305.php?type=claimshttp://www.nutraingredients.com/Research/Probiotic-bacteria-may-stop-HIV-infection

Probitics keep your immune system from being activated by waste product from the gut. They also help produce B vitamins for our bodies. They also help digest certain sugars for us to absorb better. They may protect against immune senesense caused by immune activation due to waste product leakage into our blood.

There is a study being done to study this:http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00536848

Hello.

There is a lot of buzz aobut probiotics nowadays. I was wondering if there is anything in particular hiv+ folks should be aware of. For example, do protiase inhibs or other HIV meds or HIV itself kill or affect the growth of the helpful bacterial flora of the gut (like antibiotics do)? What specific types of bacteria should be promoted through diet and/or probiotic subliments. Any recommendations for suplements, yogurt or other food products, how often to take, etc.
