L. acidophilus...should I increase it

[Guest guest]

My daughter has been scd since august 2006, it has taken her months

just to tolerate the L. acidophilus capsule well.

She has been taking 3 billion cfu of the Kirkmans L. acidophilus daily

for a little more than a month now. She is also taking s. boulardii(1

capsule daily.3 bil cfu's) for 2 months + now. She does not tolerate

the goats yogurt yet. Still intolerant to lots ie. no eggs, no nut

butters..etc.

Would it be helpful to increase the L. acidophilus? Or is 3 billion

cfu's enough...?Would it be too much to give a small child more

probiotic..she is 7, 35 llbs?

Thanks,

Cathy

Hi Cathy,

What foods does she tolerate?

What are her symptoms?

Has she had any improvement since being on the diet?
