Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I am trying to find a good fit for my kids probiotic-wise. I know there are three legal brands. Can anyone give me their impressions about these brands. Successes? Regressions? Improvements or not? Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Ella with crohns age 4 and a cows milk intolerance struggled with cows milk yogurt and the Dannon starter. We messed up and gave her too much the first time. Your smart to plan ahead and look at the fine details. Reading stories about intollerance to yogurt and her interolance to cows milk had us go the goat milk and the non dairy starter route. Her allergy was not to cassein oddly enough so it was either the whey or the lactose causing problems. She is now tollerating the whole pastueurized goats milk with vitamin D with GI Prohealth Progurt Starter very well. We have a salton brand yogurt maker that we plug in. I used 1 quart of the goats milk and 1/8th teaspoon of the starter per the directions on the Progurt starter Knowing she has been whey interollerant I fermented the yogurt for a full 32 hours and then dripped the yogurt as well. I've also kept it in the back of the fridge for several days thinking the bacteria are eating the last bits of the fluid part before feeding it too her. We started with feeding 1/8 tsp and now a couple weeks later she is up to a couple teaspoons. Ella is doing great with a huge " trophy " cabinet the last several weeks and she is tolerating more and more glucose as well as food items.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Ella grew very sensitive after her prednisolone wean. She wasn't tolerating much beyond soup, eggs, meats, bananas, butternut squash, SCD multi-vitamin. We were sorting the diet out too as we went along realizing we still had illegals in things we tried with her like store bought applesauce (we only make our own now), bacon with honey but after calling them they said it really had corn starch powder in it as well. We tried harvarti & cheddar cheese 8 weeks into the diet and she couldn't tolerate them. About 10 weeks into the diet we tried the yogurt but I realized later it had the illegal bifidus strain. It was also in cows milk and then we gave her to much. That set us back another week before trying to add anything. Thus it was just over 3 months that we tried yet another yogurt type. I did buy some probiotic pills from Kirkman Labs the single strain Lactobacillus but a few days later the ProGurt arrived and I decided to try goats milk yogurt with it instead via the schedule laid out by Sheila and Jody--very slowly. She is tolerating it great. We are upping her dose every three days and she's expanding her diet and seems much less sensitive to SCD foods that have glucose. For Ella who had ulcers in her colon when diagnosed with Crohns in Oct 05 whenever she got looser stools if we went back to her basics of eggs, meats, bananas, soup, her stools would firm back up quickly. I made sure she was having 4-5 good stools which usually meant 4-5 days of trophies before I'd try something new. This is when I tried the goat yogurt.
