Started probiotic (SCDOphilus) and ???'s

[Guest guest]

I am doing about 1/2 capsule per day of the SCDophilus. Since

starting it my daughter seems to go to the bathroom a couple hours

after taking it. Her bm seems slightly less formed (but still better

than preSCD) and color is good. Her stomach has seemed more bloated

(the distention had seemed to decrease quite dramatically). She is

refusing to eat cooked veggies that she usually likes to eat (green

beans, broccolli). Should I back down on the capsule amount (go to

1/4) or just keep going??? Is this just part of die-off? She is

eating other food well - meats, pancakes (made with veggies). Thanks.

I'd either go down to 1/4 capsule or split the 1/2 capsule/day into

two doses during the day (morning and night) and see if that helps.

It may be partly die off but you may be able to ease her disomfort.

Also epsom salt baths may help with the die off.

Thanks! I decreased to 1/4 once today, I may try 1/4 twice

tomorrow. I do think it is die-off - maybe yeast. But, I'd prefer

to go low and slow and keep her comfy and our house a little

more " sane " ! Thanks for support. Jen, mom to Evie 3 1/2 ASD and
