This is what the doctor recommended for proboitics can anyone comment on what they think

[Guest guest]

So we (me, dtr, 30 months and son 10 months) have systemic yeast issues with

constipation issues for my daughter (Dtr had antibotics gentomyacin and

ampicillan for first week of life for meconium aspiration syndrome which may

have started all our issues). We have been on an elimination diet since January

1st which we started due to dtr wanting to nurse all the time and then started

to find food intolerances/allergies. We continue to be on a restricted diet in

an effort to get to baseline including our yeast issues. When we went to the

doctor for an epipen she recommended proboitics as the missing piece to resolve

our yeast issues and constipation problems. Here is what she recommended: Mom

take Floragen 3 proboitic one daily x 3 months stored in frig, sacchyomyces

proboitic yeast one daily x 3 months store on counter with brand recommendation

of Jarrow. She also recommended 5000 IU daily of Vit d 3 for mom, 400 IU D3 for

dtr. I originally wanted to make my own proboitcs but I think that is biting

off more than I can chew. So now I am trying to figure out if what she

recommended is what we should take based on our restrictions etc. I will list

our avoid list below. Any opionons and advice is greatly appreciated. I want to

start some proboitics soon as dtr continues to have issues and I hate to see her

suffer. Basically looking for whether you agree with MD and if not other

proboitic recommendations ie brand. I dont want to ingest anything that would

be on our no list. Thank you for your help.
