Started probiotic yesterday and loose stool today......

[Guest guest]

I gave my 3.5 year old 1/2 cap of Kirland's probiotic yesterday

afternoon and the other half this morning.

No new food were introduced. He had a loose stool this afternoon. What

is the best way to proceed from here?

Thanks so much,

Summer

Hi Summer,

Did you try the french green beans also?

Some people have trouble with gr. beans (even if pureed).

Hi Sheila,

No. I gave Josh the option to choose either the probiotic or the green

beans. He chose the probiotic. I did not want to introduce both at the

same time.

It may be die off from the addition of good bacteria. Epsom salt

baths and/or activated charcoal may help with this. Please have a look

at the info at this link:

You should probably hold off on the probiotic until you see his next

stool. If okay then in a day or two you could retry the probiotic in a

smaller amount (1/4 capsule or less) and skip a day in between dosing.

It may be intolerance or you may have to start very slow.
