Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Does die off ever end? Every day after I give my son his probiotic, he gets die off - spacey, black circles, unfocused, brainfog, harder to control, etc. I give him L Acidophilus by Nature's Sunshine. If the other brands work better, I don't think I could handle my son on it at all. I can't give it to him in the morning or during the day as I can't get him to do any of his work (I school him at home). I have to give him at night. Now I know I am still very new here, so I may be a little impatient? Will this always continue? I only give him a rounded teaspoon of the dripped goat yogurt at night also when I give it to him. He's better by the morning. Bonita son, SCD almost 4 months I think, Asperger's, OCD, ADHD, highly sal sensitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Sheila, I only give him 1 capsule of probiotic (it says minimum of 100,000,000 of acidophilus). I started with 1/8 tsp. It's hard to remember back then, but I don't remember ever getting an effect quite as obvious as with the probiotic. Even when we got up to the rounded tsp the reaction was more subtle, different but equally as brainfog-inducing. I was not using the probiotic at the time. I'm also not sure that I have given him the yogurt by itself in the morning either as I started from the beginning giving it to him in the evening and only tried the AM a couple of times. When I did the AM yogurt, I think by then I was also giving him the probiotic by that point. Bonita Re: does die off ever end Hi Bonita, <<Does die off ever end?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi Bonita, It is hard to tell what the problem is since you are doing both the yogurt and the probiotic. I think the probiotic may be causing the trouble because of the coating. You could stop the probiotic for a few days to see if that helps or You could try dosing the probiotic without the capsule (which has the likely illegal coating). If that doesn't help with the symptoms you may want to stop both for a few days and then start each again later separately (start small again and slowly increase). I am not so sure that this is die off.
