Re: Probiotics info
Thanks for the great info!
I learned about probiotics when Nemo was an infant, and was amazed to discover that they are safe even for infants! When he was a baby, I would either take an adult dose for him to recieve through my milk. During toddlerhood, I mixed half of an adult capsule into his food or a bit of juice. Once he started being safely able to chew, I started him on Rhino Chewable Acidophilus & FOS (a plant-based carbohydrate that encourages beneficial bacterial growth in the intestines), which he still loves and gets anytime he's on meds, travels, is sick, or exposed to someone sick. I love that they have 100% RDA of Vita C (for children) in them, too! http://www.findsupplements.com/index...OD&ProdID=1416 Edited to update linkie.

Re: Probiotics info
Now I am even more overwhelmed! I thought I was doing good by giving Gabe a chewbale probiotic tablet daily. It does have over 1 billion organisms, but is says it is mult-strained. Is that bad? It is called AcidophiKidz by Nature's Path. Is that a good one or should I find another brand? What is a good brand for toddlers?

Re: Probiotics info
Personally I like Nature's Path products. The fave probiotic in our house is Rhino Chewable Acidophilus with FOS (link in my post above), tho. I prefer to reserve probiotics for times of illness/stress/travel/medications, rather than giving on a daily basis. But you may have other reasons for giving them daily.
I think you're doing fine, mama.

Re: Probiotics info
Well I should say I "offer" them on a daily basis but he does not always take them! The bottle recommends a daily tablet. We live in Mexico and parasites can tend to be common-not sure if probiotics kill parasites but I figure they are helping keep his intenstines healthy. Who makes the Rhino kind? Nevermind, you posted a link, I will check it out. Thanks again!

Re: Probiotics info
How much can I expect to pay to start a probiotic regimen in our household? There's 2 adults and our toddler . . . I don't want to buy the cheap stuff if it's useless. Also, how necessary do you think probiotic supplements are for a toddler is she's not having any issues? She doesn't have allergies, skin problems, GI problems. She's still BFing, so would she benefit if I took them?
thanks everyone! |

Re: Probiotics info
As for cost I am not sure...it really depends what you take...or if you chose to make kefir or other fermented foods..which are high in probiotics.
As for your dd...I am sure she could benefit even though she doesn't appear to have any problems. You could just start with yourself and see how it goes. |

Re: Probiotics info
Okay, so now I'm curious about this probiotics stuff ...
I'm going to be on extended antibiotics (anti-malarials). Is there any point in starting with probiotics, or do I just need to wait until after I'm done taking my meds?

Re: Probiotics info
I would start now to protect your GI tract from the anti-bacterials. You're going to be traveling, right? Capsules would probably be easiest for you. I'm not as familiar w/ the capsules as some of the other peopel here, so I'll let them advise you.
As someone who's been battling yeast for 11 months, I really wish I could turn back the clock and take probiotics with the antibiotics that I took last summer for a UTI . . . |

Re: Probiotics info
Good information You are talking about great health for our systems.
Thanks We live in Mexico and parasites can tend to be common-not sure if probiotics kill parasites but I figure they are helping keep his intenstines healthy. Nancymom, I know two people that got the parasites from Mexico and they had some serious problems. How blessed your family is that you are learning to take care of them |
