Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thank you so much for your responses. I was giving the Custom probiotic to my son for 2 years (the D-lactate free version) because it always tested very well for him, plus it seems to be number 1 recommended probiotic for kids with PANDAS. However, the last time it tested as blocking, so I stopped it, I think his body got used to the Customs probiotic since he was on it for such a long time. So what other good probiotic are recommended for kids with PANDAS and clostridia? I have been giving the Saccharomyces Boulardii 1 capsule/day, but may be it is not enough of it? How many capsules per day are required to help with really high results of clostridia? I have prescription for Vancomicyn but still hesitant to start it, want to try first the more natural options and see if they help. Thanks again for your help, Krassi > > Krassi, >  > I believe it is the strep strain in the probiotic that is causing your sons tics.

This probiotic has tested always the best for my son for the past 2 years (with ART testing, most recently 1 month ago). Before I was always hesitant to give it to my son because of the Streptococcus thermophilus strains that it has.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Krassi, My kids ART tested for the Thorne Sacro B, 4 capsules a day (2 twice a day with their probiotic). It has worked out well at getting rid of the clostridia. We are staying on the Sacro B for awhile because our Dr. said it can come back easily. Hope this helps. One of my kids did a 10 day round of Flagyl to get the clostridia under control as well. > Thank you so much for your responses.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 One thing to remember about Vancomycin given orally. It will not cross the gut barrier, so if you decide to give it, you will only be treating the gut and not the whole body. Have you considered grapefruit seed extract? It is helpful in many infections. I got rid of a super bug in my intestines by using that. The docs refused to treat me because it was “a normal flora†bacteria, but it was over-grown in me. I started getting better after treating that. Now I take Tri-Guard from Oxygen Nutrition to help maintain my gut flora balance. This has tested as beneficial for bacteria, yeast, and parasites in me. I do pretty well as long as I take it regularly. It tastes nasty, but I tolerate that because it is so beneficial. It is a combination of tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract, and colloidal gold. That combination has worked wonders for me.
