The hyper drunk type behaviour could well be die off reaction with the good bugs in Probio getting rid of the bad stuff in the gut. Did you go straight in with 2 caps - may help to reduce dose but at least you know somethings happening. Mandi in UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Hi Group members, my 3year old (ASD) becomes hyper ( " drunk " ) after ingesting 2 capsules of the pro-bio gold. Have any of you experienced this with your kids, and are there better pro-biotics on the market than Kirkman's pro-bio gold?

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 My son did poorly on ProBio Gold also, but only after I got over 1/2 capsule per day. I started him on very, very low doses, about 1/8 capsule, as this probiotic is quite strong. The probiotic my son personally does best on is ProCulture Gold. I give him four of these a day, and if I reduce the dose, he regresses a bit. I believe the ProCulture Gold (also sold by Kirkman's) specificially works on the Clostridia problem my son has had. I guess some kids just do better on some types of probiotics than on others. Maybe try a few different types/brands? And definitely lower the dose, would be my suggestion.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 There are many good brands of probiotics. (We use Florajen from the pharmacy and Culturelle from www.vrp.com) I agree with Mandi that if you gave 2 at once, try lowering the dose first for about a week and see if that helps. Probiotics can cause die-off, especially if they are displacing a bunch of the " bad " stuff. One of the things many probiotics can do is produce digestive enzymes, which can also contribute to die-off. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been yeast die off, you can consider reducing the dose. Have any of you > experienced this with your kids, and are there better pro-biotics on > the market than Kirkman's pro-bio gold? Regards, I have heard the best things about Culturelle, which you can also purchase from Kirkman. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 My son was very sensitive to Pro bio gold as well as other probiotics. He acted kind of silly and wiggly and giggly on *ONE* pro bio gold when we started out (he was 90 lbs, then). We had to 'ride out' 1 week plus of the silly behavior, then it subsided. After this, we slowly increased the dosage by 1/2 capsule every couple weeks, until we were finally at 4 a day. I firmly believe that some bad stuff needed to die for him to be able to take these, although we had some nasty gut bugs later, even with the pro bio gold in place - guess there's no guarantee.
