threelac

Hi! My son has been taking Threelac for about 4-6 weeks now after being on

Nizoral for 12 days. It works better than anything else we've tried - GSE,

Candex, Nystatin. His BMs have been almost always solid since then. I was

skeptical, but it does seem to be helping. He'll have another test soon so

we'll

Has anyone tried Threelac to fight yeast?

Does it work?

Any advice appreciated.

My daughter tried Threelac and it didn't seem to do anything, but I do think it

helped my yeast issues which were very mild. I also tried to do a bunch of

research on it and bottom line was that I found a few people that said it helped

but by no means the majority. However until we have a better clue as to why

certain ones work/help certain people everything's a bit of a gamble.

Thanks,

Can this probiotic be taken in food or yogurt? On the package it says

to put it in your mouth and then drink water. It would be easier for

me if I could put it in my son's yogurt but I don't want it to lose

effectiveness.

Also, does anyone know how many cells are in each little packet?

Finally, if Threelac is effective against yeast can it cause a

bacteria overgrowth or is it effective against bacteria as well?

Missy,

I visited www.candidafree.net where you can find info on candida,

Threelac and how to order. Good luck.

--We have been using Threelac for 2-months now, and the results

have been great. My daughter's stools firmed up, and she is talking

more and clearer. Also, sleep issues have resolved. If you try it,

work up slowly on dose. It is pretty powerful stuff. The only down

side has been that recently she is getting constipated since we

reached full dose. I am currently working on a solution that problem.--Tod

Hiya! We did it for about two or three months when coming off

nystatin. I think it did help and he liked to take it, which is often

a deciding factor. I wouldn't say it wiped it out, but then again we

don't go on a candida diet either. He did stop incessantly chewing on

his shirts sleeves and we saw some other behavioral improvements. We

have since switched to a dairy free chewable that we found at our HFS

for maintenance...it's a little cheaper. hope this helps. -deb

issues?

Hi Jenn

We tried Threelac for about two months. It did not help atall. I would go as

far as to say there was absolutely no effect. It is pricey too.

We also have MASSIVE yeast issues and the only thing in the world that works

for us is grapefruit seed extract. It is cheap as chips to buy, you only use

2 or 3 drops twice a day for about 4 days at a time, and then for the next

week, load her up with high dose probiotics. You will probably need to repeat

the treatment regularly, followed by the probiotics.

If you have never used it before, it will kill yeast immediately, and if she

is badly infected she is likely to have a die off reaction that will make

her feel ill. The die off will make all her yeast symptoms much worse for the 3

or 4 days that you are treating her. After this you will see a much calmer

child who is able to sit for much longer.

Let us know how you get on,

Joy

I haven't used Threelac but use Lactobacillus Sporogenes, one of the

ingredients in Threelac. I used it for my daughter who isn't autistic

but had Selective Mutism. It really brought her back to us.

Thanks . I will look into this probiotic. Jenn L

Please reply with specific experiences in how you think this product brought

your daughter back to you. Did it decrease stims or was she able to use

spontaneous language after but, not before? Thanks so very much. Jenn L

For hyperactivity in addition to yeast treatment, magnesium really works well

for my son. Given the ASD children's Mag deficency, Dr. MacCandels recommend

about 400mg of it.

Sorry, I have not used Treelac but am interested to try.

Best,

My daughter had Selective Mutism, an anxiety disorder. The following

description of selective mutism taken from selectivemutism.org fit

my dd to a T. What are the most common personality traits of

Selectively Mute children?

The following are various personality characteristics of Selectively

Mute children that I have encountered

among hundreds of SM children:

--MUTISM

--Blank Facial expressions (when anxious)

--Lack of smiling (when anxious)

--Staring into space (when anxious) -----

--Difficulty with eye contact (when anxious)

--Frozen appearance (when anxious) ----

--Awkward and stiff body language (when anxious)

--Difficulty `initiating' play. Saying or indicating thank-you,

hello, or goodbye is incredibly difficult for

these children.

--Slowness to respond (i.e. when asked a question, will take longer

than the average child to respond either

nonverbally or verbally. This is one reason why standardized testing

is often difficult and yields inaccurate

results.) -

--Heightened sensitivity to surroundings/noise/crowds/touch

--Excessive tendency to worry and have fears (often manifested in

children older than 6 years of age)

--Behavioral manifestations at home, such as: moodiness,

assertiveness, inflexibility, procrastination,

crying easily, need for control, bossiness, domination, extreme

talkativeness and expressiveness.

--Intelligent, perceptive and inquisitive -------

--Introspective and sensitive (seems to understand the world around

them more thoroughly than other

children the same age, and portrays an increased sensitivity to

feelings and thoughts, although often have

difficulty `expressing' feelings) ----

--Manifests artistic interests

After introducing Lactobacillus Sporogenes she became happy again.

We no longer saw the hour long tantrums with her crying herself to

sleep over often unknown causes or seemingly minor things (such as

her droping a bite of food in her lap at lunch). She stopped hiding

behind me when we'd visit my parents. She used to scream at them

when they said hello to her. She started interacting normally with

them. Her noise sensitivity improved greatly along with improvement

in other sensory areas. There were far fewer incindents of freezing

and muteness at school. I'm not saying it was a cure. She still

has some anxiety but it really was dramtic for her. Before we used

the lacto. sporo. we'd been using acidophilus pearls and various

other probiotics, GSE, & olive leaf extract. When we got the lacto.

sporo we dropped the GSE (as I didn't see it working at all) but

kept giving her the olive leaf extract and other probiotic (usually

Reuteri) untill I felt the yeast was under control. Then I just

gave her a matience dose of probiotics and the lacto. sporo.

hi we have just started using threelac, about mth now, and although

i havent seen a huge improvement in his symptoms yest - i have

noticed that now if he doesnt receive his breakfast dose his

behaviour gets steadily worse until he does receive it??? his

giggling is definately less - i did try to up it to 2 pkts a day and

it produced a greater die off reaction lots of stimming and laughter

so we cut back to 1 as advised by mark from candidafree.net - who

incidentally ran a study on 19 asd children and the effects of

threelac on them, for a few it was a huge success!! we will be

upping the dose again in a few weeks bit it does show it does

actually work - its just much slower to evidence

i hth

kindest regards

months now. It has helped a bit. She had illegals though. She has

I absolutely LOVE Threelac. I have not ever used anything else for

yeast, so I can't compare. The only things I have ever done for him

were take him off milk, start proefa, give threelac and enzymes. My

son (19 months), began to point, answer to his name, receptive

language grew (does object identification)and recently began usuing

the potty (I thought there would be a delay since his language). He

still is not talking and the more I get into this process, I think

his specific problem is not social in nature (he is actually quite

social), it is the motor planning, or apraxia that limits his ability

to speak. That is why I started proefa, but recently I read that

some kids cannot digest fats well. The Houston combo does not

include a enzyme high in Lipase, so I added one three days ago and

BOOM, the chicken bumps on the back of his arms are WAY down, almost

completely cleared! So I think he indeed was not digesting fats

properly. Others on the board have mentioned a Mito cocktail to help

with this, but I am going to simply continue with a high lipase

enzyme and cut back his proefa and see what other areas he improves

in. But yeast and fat digestion seem to be the big issues with his

delays. Good luck and I would definitely get some threelac. My

whole family is taking it with many awesome results!.

For us, SCD did not help with yeast. I know it is supposed to, but

it just made us hyper (from yeast, such high phenols, and no copmlex

carbs). All the honey and nuts fed yeast, and my son is intolerant

of dairy so no yogurt.

Threelac makes my son very hyper; maybe from the lemon? He tends to

get bacterial from probiotics even though he's extremely yeast-prone.

Grapefruit seed extract, Nystatin, oil of oregano, and garlic have

all been useful for us. Going off sugar, dairy, and a low yeast

diet that doesn't include simple starches like rice and potatoes

very often has helped him a lot. No Fenol is amazing on yeast,

either alone or taken with food like an enzyme. It can cause

hyperactivity at first though, or at night. Zinc and magnesium are

helping a lot here too.

Good luck; life with yeast can be very challenging. It is worth

trying whatever you think might help, til you find something that

does.
