Re: Ther-Biotic Infant Formula & Biocidin

[Guest guest]

Hey Sophie,

Glad you asked! YES! In one of my 4 breastfeeding books - when a child is born

(naturally) they get a 'gulp' (they call it the 'something' gulp) coming out of

the womb - this 'gulp' contains the much needed probiotics the child needs.

It's like the 'seed' for the intestional colony that needs to develop.

My guess (and it's just a guess!) is that the reason that some kids start to

have gut issues is that - 1. they don't get the 'gulp' or 2. they get a gulp and

it's doesn't contain the right things, quite possibly the wrong things and/or 3.

The Mom unwittingly starts them on food -- and the baby cannot process it, due

to the lack of proper microbes, etc. which starts this gut crap. (and some

foods the baby even with good microbes cannot process it due to an immature

digestive tract) 4. The Mom doesn't/cannot breastfeed (for whatever reason) and

the child doesn't get the microbes thru that either. Nor does the child get the

immunity that the Mom gives.

So, we *think* we are feeding our children the right things, with lots of

nutrition, but it's sabotaged due to,well, lots of variables. I do think age

has something to do with it. (as I had more time to abuse my body than a 17

year old)

I am an older Mom, I abused my body quite well prior to getting prego, and then

I was great in terms of my diet and eating, but I didn't do enough, and I didn't

understand that just because you can eat spinach, doesn't mean that I can or

that it's even good for me. Because you know, spinach is great for you, except

when you have leaky gut. " Milk does a body good " -- which only if you can

process it -- and then even that is questionable, as the processed milk is dead

in so many ways!

I don't think I had a great gut when my kids came out. I had to come to terms

with my own health -- and then I had to change my understanding of nutrition as

I knew it, and how it's absorbed, etc.

When it came to understanding the yeast issue, and how the gut is a balance, and

it needs to be balanced -- I started to understand how to get what I needed.

This changed a great deal for me and my children.

When I decided to put Sam on a probiotic, it was only to supplement what I was

already doing. I take probiotics myself, and when he gets rice cereal, he gets

it in that too. (I use Happy Bellies Rice Cereal with probiotics)

I hope this helps...
