Re: Activated Charcoal/ probiotics

[Guest guest]

When I asked Dr G about probiotics, he said OK to use a simple kind. I assume he

meant a good quality one? Can someone please help me on what kind of probiotics

Dr G likes to use?

Just keep an eye on things regarding 'die-off symptoms' when starting

probiotics.  You could attribute a negative reaction as die-off, but some

strains of probiotics will actually set off sensory problems and OCD in kids

because they may stimulate cytokines that may already be elevated in your kids.

OCD and anxiety are what you need to watch for - if you have big increases in

this AND is doesn't go away within a 2 week time (average die-off period), then

you could actually be stimulating ocd with this.

I don't want to discourage using probiotics but this is a potential side

effect.  It's certainly worth hanging in there for a month to make sure it

isn't just die-off, because they really are important.  I would bet it is only

about 15% of kids who can't tolerate some strains.

HTH.  Sorry to add any worries to starting those, but they have simply wrecked

my world a few times before I figured out the connection, so I don't want others

to go too long not knowing the potential.

I am hoping to go to the New York Autism Clinic within the next few weeks

with our son.

I have been giving him appox. 4 mg of zoloft and he is more aware but still

has attention problems. He was taking Strattera but I am scared that it may

interfere with zoloft. They do not offer tenex here in Canada. He has been

on clonidine (similar to tenex) in the past but it made him sleepy and it

wears off easily.

He is taking Complete Probiotics (excellent quality!!) and I noticed a lot

of die-off symptoms so decided to try activated charcoal (AC) at night. He

also gets his zoloft at night. The AC seems to help a lot. Any advice is

always appreciated.

You are right activated charcoal and Tylenol do help with die off. Just be

careful when you give the activated charcoal. You don't want the charcoal

to absorb the medications Dr. G prescribed to help your child.

I bought Kyodophylus but it does not say " kids. " My son is 17 years old. Would

that be OK?

I don¹t know...

Anyone out there that can help us? Adult patients of Dr. G?

You could look at the ingredients and see if they are the same (and if the

manufacturer is the same). It may just be a different dosage (larger pill

or something).

I have actually never seen Kids’ Kyodophilus.

My son is 8 and has been on the protocol since he was 3. All we’ve ever

used is the regular Kyodophilus.
