Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Rei, Probiotics are basically food and you can't really have too many ...If you are going to make a major change in the amount of probiotics you give your child you should start off slowly and increase the dosage over time (we increased rapidly, but all kids are different). Our DAN recommends a *miniumum* of 50 billion per day, with no true upper limit established. VSL#3 capsules have 225 billion strains per 2 caps, and the packets have 475 billion. We use one capsule a night for now (so 100 billion cfus), and will probably increase to 2 caps in a short while. VSL #3 is the preferred probiotic of the people on the Vitamin K list for controlling oxalates. My son is only 3 1/2 and 47 lbs, and our DAN said even using the packets of VSL#3 once a night would be fine. So it's really up to you. Once you implement some of this stuff you can always retest the microbial portion of the OAT and see how your good bac/ bad bac program is working. > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi from Rei to Christel and our group, > > We are very excited to received our very first OAT test and finally it clarifys our thought that has been bothering us for years and years. Yes. My son has a bad, real bad yeast overgrowth. The strange thing is that my son has never had any GI problems, sleep through nights ever since he was born, good apepities all the time, but he has huge OCD, stimming and looks light weighed all the time( he eats a lot, but can't put on any weighs..) > So, all of this pedi in his life have never looked into yeast problem, until I joined this group and learned about so much on yeast overgrowth and DAN protocals... > Thank you Christel to refer me to Dr. B as well. > > I will not have an appointment to Dr. B for a while, plus we still wait on other several lab results. During the waiting period, I want to start to get yeast under control. I need to know what kind doesages on OLE you will recommend? My son has been on Nutribiotic GSE and OLE for 2 months, he only takes 250mg GSE per day and 300mg OLE per day. I dont think it is enough after i read the result. He has 240 valume on Arabinose ( normal is below 47), and 0.84 on 3- Oxglutaric ( normal is below 0.5)... > My son is 10 years old, weighs 68lbs ( he dropped weigh 4 lbs in the lasta 2 months). > > He also on probiotic 50 billion cfu at night. > > For high Oxalate, anybody has any suggestions or experience to share here, how to lower oxalate? ( We already on low oxalate diet) > > Thanks a lot. > > Rei > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
