re-introducing yogurt -- how to go about it

[Guest guest]

I need some guidelines for when I get around to the re-introduction of yogurt.

Presently my son is off both legal probiotic and goat yogurt as they were

causing bizzarre behaviors in him. I did not introduce the yogurt slowly as he

had never had any type of reaction to dairy (or probiotic) previously. He can

eat cheese and butter without a problem and a few months ago when he was

undergoing various tests for malabsorption, I had him drink milk and a few other

dairy items to see if that showed us anything on the tests & he had no

behavioral reaction to the dairy.

When he ate 6 oz of goat yogurt or took a " serving " of probiotic, he became

very hyperactive and silly. He jumped up and down and screetched a slap happy

screetch and didn't even care if he bumped into something (high pain tolerance,

which is unusual for him). He also would be aggressive and then go right back

to being silly and slap happy as if he didn't just hit his sister.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is not characteristic of die-off

(especially for a child who has taken probiotics since he was a baby with no

noticable die off/problems). I guess it would help to know what he is

experiencing to help decide if and how to re-introduce.

Do you mean after the problem with yogurt/probiotics you tested

butter and cheese 'again' and he continues to tolerate them?

Does he have this reaction with other foods or just

probiotics/yogurt/fermented food?

He never has had a problem with cheese and butter. I didn't pull them.

Sometimes he eats a stick of butter as a snack (his idea, not mine!) and he has

no reaction.

He has had the bad reaction to eating a huge amount of vegetables. He always

tries to eat huge amounts, I have to restrict them or he gets all silly. The

problem is magnified when he consumes both yogurt and vegetables. So if his bad

behavior is a 6/10 when he eats either yogurt/probiotic or vegetables, it is a

10/10 when he has both.

Hi ,

I would suggest waiting a while before retrying probiotics or

yogurt and then start with a tiny amount 1/8 tsp. If that is okay

then very slowly increase.

How is he with fruit?

Are his bm's okay? Is it only a behavioural reaction?

It was a behavioral reaction followed by diarrhea. He is all private about

toileting now, so I don't even know what his BMs look like. 1 serving of

fruit/day seems to be okay -- that's all I give him since he likes vegetables so

much.
