Re: Can somebody help me? Q regarding colostrum and probitoics

[Guest guest]

It's a really good idea to give your child probiotics when taking

antibiotics.

I don't know that much about colostrum. We did try it for a while but

it did nothing for us.

I've heard that olive leaf extract is very good but have yet to try

it. I would try one thing at a time. I would go with the probiotics

first.

Hope this helps. =)

What I have heard (probably on this list), is that the antibiotics

will kill the probiotics, so it's best to take an antifungal while

taking the antibiotics and then do the probiotics to repopulate the

gut after the antibiotics are done. I don't have personal experience

with this, but that's what I've heard. I've heard of lots of kids who

get chronic earaches benefitting from being off of dairy, so that

might be worth trying if you aren't already. Also there is

information in " Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD " by

Shaw about the connection between chronic ear infections and ASD, so I

would highly recommend reading up on it there. It has a section

towards the beginning called something like " breaking the viscious

cycle " - very helpful.

At my house, ear infections were caused by yeast in the ears. Try

giving biotin and/or GSE, see if that helps.

If it is bacterial, olive leaf extract might help.

-My son was getting ear infections all the time until I figured out he

was allergic to milk and other foods, but mainly milk. IS he diet

restricted? I used garlic/mullein oil with 2-3 drops GSE in bottle of

oil in ears and it successfully treated 8 out of 10 ear infections. I

also have him on colostrum from kirkman's (casein-free, lactose-free)

and he recovers quickly when sick. Ole is good, just hard to get down

little kids. If yo can't get it down, rub on soles of feet. I have

done that before and it seemed to help. Probiotics are great for

repopulating the gut with good bacteria. If he is Cf, make sure the

probioitic is as well. Kirkman's makes one called PRo-Bio Gold that is

chewable and good-tasting. Just be sure that you start out slow on

this one. My son, and many others, have taken the whole dose the first

time and had horrible die-off. Start with a quarter and over a coulpe

of weeks, get to the full wafer. It is really not that strong of a

probiotic (20 billion CFU's). Their are higher ones available, but

some kids with bad yeast can react badly. Hope this helps.

You may wish to rethink your feelings on giving him soy, since soy is a

phytoestrogen and not good for anyone but especially not good for boys.

Most people have problems with the pasteurization and homoginization of

milk along with the additives in it. You might want to find a source

for real milk here: www.realmilk.com You can find farmers that have

real milk at this website. Blessings Conrad
