Advice on ThreeLac and other Probiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi all, just getting around to fine-tuning Evoni's probiotics. She is

gfcf and has been taking acidophilus. Stool tests by Dan doc has

discovered an extreme shortage of bifido, so I am looking at switching

to Kirkman Lab's bifido probiotic. According to DAN doc she has no

yeast problem. However, her entire gut bacteria results were off the

charts so I'm wondering if I need a broader spectrum probiotic.

Is anybody using ThreeLac ( mentioned it) or other combo

probiotics that I should explore?

Thanks

Hi Jenna,

Klaire Labs do a good, strong Probiotic called Therbiotic Complete powder (comes

in capsules that can be opened and mixed + drinks or powder). We use for our 12

yr old 1/4 5ml Tsp 2x per day. I think this is the probiotic favoured by Dr

McCandless - Children with Starving Brains. It tastes OK and is fine for CF

diets (I think but better check on this).
