Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My child is definitely a viral and GI kid. In your opinions which probiotic is 'better?' I'm getting a strong instinct that we need to switch probiotics for some reason. Custom Probiotics (which he has been taking 6 months) or Klaire Labs Detox Support? Custom Probiotics contains: L.Rhamnosus, L. Salivarius, B. Bifidum, B. Infantis (D-Lactate free) 250 billion CFU/gm. This does NOT contain any strep strains, right? He is currently suffering and being treated for a bacterial infection (klubsiella oxytoca) (again) with Bactrim (from his DAN). I had him tested for strep throat yesterday which was negative, but now he looks worse than ever with dark circles under his eyes and now is throwing up tonight and really 'out of it'. All of his recent labs (CBC) are all pretty much withing normal limits. He recently tested NEGATIVE for Lyme with IGeneX, but had a few things a little abnormal, so I am seeing a Lyme specialist ANYWAY just to get their opinion on retesting with 'challenge' in a month. My son was getting so much better even on day 3 of his antibiotic, but on day 8 he just took a nose dive again and now looks worse than ever. He is so out of it right now and I'm calling our DAN again Monday morning. Anyway, I'm just wanting to know if I should switch probiotics? I've heard this Klaire Labs Dextox support is really great. Any advice???? Thank you!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes many children ill and they cannot tolerate it. > > My child is definitely a viral and GI kid. > > In your opinions which probiotic is 'better?'

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 And Bactrim severely depletes folic acid, so giving a good amount of Folapro would be a good idea. And I agree, the Bactrim in general may be just the wrong antibiotic for him. I would ask your DAN for another antibiotic, add in one or more Folapro, and give charcoal in between. Poor guy, I hope he is feeling better soon. I will be sending good thoughts your way . Sylvia > > > > My child is definitely a viral and GI kid. > > > > In your opinions which probiotic is 'better?'
