Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I recently switched brands for my son's probiotic. The new brand is causing bright red ears. Both brands are single strain probiotics. The old brand contained lactobacillus and the new brand contains acidophilus. Both are dairy-free. He was tolerating the old probiotic well but I switched because I read you should rotate. Does anyone have a guess what is causing this reaction? Should I keep going with the new probiotic or go back to the old one? Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 When I hear of red ears,I think of high phenols/salicylates in the diet. Has he had anything different in regards to food lately?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 We get red ears from food allergies, but also when ill with colds and such.
