Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I was using S. Boulardii. After the constipation for 3 wks he had diahrea for three days when I was starting the diet and giving the probiotic. On Monday (the day of his bad reaction) he had his first normal formed stool, then on tues another perfect stool, wed he didn't go and this morning he went an it was looser. I stopped giving the probiotic on monday. I'm not using any right now. I just ordered a probiotic from Kirkman the lactobacillus acidophilus caps which are listed as legal. I was planning to start those as soon as I get them. mom to Riley (31/2 asd) and Cameron (51/2 anxiety disorder) SCD 6 days. previously gf/cf for 10 months > > Hi , > > > My son was constipated about three wks before starting SCD and I > > noticed that his breath had a strange odor.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi , S. boulardii is a legal culture to use - you have to check individual ingredients to see if the fillers are okay. > > I was using S.
