Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi there- Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction with our VSL. I just can't seem to get rid of yeast. He still has red hot ears and screams all day... Thanks, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 My son couldn't tolerate it - it made him VERY emotional. He's not dairy-sensitive either. I have better luck w/ cheaper probiotics with bacteria that's more commonly found in yogurt, etc. On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 3:18 PM, Rose Rudolph <roserudolph55@...>wrote: > Hi there- > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in > conjunction with our VSL. > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Culturelle is perhaps one of the better studied probiotics. Culturelle contains one strain of lactobacillus called Lactobacillus GG. It depend on what issue you are predominantly trying to work on for your child and whether you think a multi strain vs. a single strain would be most beneficial. We now use a multi strain for our son to help with a broader range of issues. > > Hi there- > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction with our VSL. > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Rose, I give 2 Culterelle at bedtime. It's very good for Clostridia. Are you giving anything else for bacteria? My daughter used to scream a lot too and I had to give her antibacterials. OLE works very well for bacteria, but there are many other things as well. Screaming isn't usually a sign of yeast unless yeast is dying off. Screaming is more of a sign of bacteria. Probiotics are important and will crowd out the bad bacteria, but you need something to kill the bad bacteria as well. > > Hi there- > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction with our VSL. > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Make sure to give any probiotics at least 2 hours away from OLE! Hope this helps! > > > > Hi there- > > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction with our VSL. > > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 personally i love it. i tried it with my son but it constipated him. i take it and it keeps me regular so if you have a diarehha kid, it would probably be great. if you fight constipation, you may not have luck with it. only one way to find out! > > > > > > Hi there- > > > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction with our VSL. > > > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 He still has red hot ears and screams all day... Hi Rose For my son, red hot ears is not yeast but salicylate sensitivity. I have to ask " what has he eaten or been exposed to? " Sometimes its food - artificial colorings/flavorings are the obvious ones, but it might be too much pineapple or some other higher salicylate food that has tipped him over. Or it might be a strong smell - perfumes and the smells associated with cleaning products/ air fresheners are big no-no's in our house. Good luck :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red hot ears sounds more like a phenol symptom http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm What worked best for yeast here was biotin and GSE..

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I always think of phenol intolerance with red hot ears and screaming. ________________________________ From: michellebondy <myrubygirl@...> Sent: Thu, October 8, 2009 4:12:41 PM Subject: [ ] Re: Culterelle?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 We've been using Culturelle for 5 years. It's one of those staple supplements for us. My kid never had any problems with constipation though. > > We loved Culturelle, easy dosing, with or w/o food and very effective. > > > > > [ ] Culterelle? > > > Hi there- > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction with our VSL. > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 My son would get red ears and scream with any diary in his diet. You might note that both VSL and Culturelle have some dairy in them.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 In June, Culturelle came out with a new dairy free version. We use this well with both of our kids, one has a true dairy allergy, the other has an IgG sensitivity. No problems. > > Hi there- > > Does anyone use this probiotic, I'm thinking about using it in conjunction > with our VSL. > > At my house, Culturelle was relatively good for bad bacteria issues, not so > good for yeast issues. > > > I just can't seem to get rid of yeast.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Try reducing the dose to 1/4 cap or lower and see if that helps. Culturelle is pretty potent, so you may need to gradually work up to a full dose. Karla > > I posted recently with regard to our son waking up crying in the middle of the night. The only two new things we were giving him were Culturelle and MB12 tablets. After all your great responses/ advice we cut the MB12 in half and he's been sleeping well for his naps and going to bed okay but still waking up crying in the middle of the night. > > I think our issue is the Culterelle. We've been giving him 1 capsule at dinnertime and it seems that everytime we give it to him he wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and after many hours of trying to put him back to sleep he wakes up in the morning with a heavy soiled diaper so I don't know if he has stomach pains, or die-off? I tried giving him the Culterelle a little earlier in the day but again he woke up screaming at night and with a soiled diaper in the morning. > > Could it be that he's not tolerating the Culturelle? Could it be die-off? Should I just do Biotin instead or let his stomach get used to Culterelle? > > If anyone can please give me some advice I would really appreciate it. > > Thank you so much! > Sleepy Mommy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
