RE: Probiotics and Pandas---link between the two?

Pardon my ignorance but what is the position here when talking of probiotics together with PANDAS? Is it:- that streptococcus strain of probiotic can be harmful, although its a pro-biotic?or- that you have read somewhere that probiotic is somehow helpful in PANDAS (that I doubt) and so you want to know what thatprobiotic is.Ratan.-------------Ratan Singh, Phone: 91 141 2652561, mail: ratanpsych@...- Certificate in Food & Nutrition; Diploma in Nutrition and Health Education; Life Member, Nutrition Soc. of India; Member ISOM- Author of "Nutrition & Supplements in Major Mental Illnesses";- M.A. (Psychol), Postgraduate Diploma in Medical & Social Psychology, Ph.D.;- Certified Behavior Therapist (from late Prof. J.

Hi,

I know someone posted about this not too long ago. I was wondering if anyone who has a pandas kid can recommend a good probiotic. I have a suspicion that my son is a pandas kid, and I noticed most probiotics contain a strain of streptococcus... I read another post about culturelle being good, does anyone know if u take it alone or in combination with another probiotic blend? I was thinking of trying him on kirkman's CD-Biotic... Has anyone had any experience with this one?

Thanks,

Cassie

Both, if PANDAS is suspected do not use a probiotic with a strep strain. Most PANDAS kids are on an antibiotic and should therefore also be on a strong probiotic to put good flora back in the gut. Also, PANDAS kids have a disfunctional gut which is why the strep is surviving in the gut. Probiotics will help repair the damaged gut/immune system and hopefully help get rid of the the strep.
