Re: Probiotics info
well not exactly but the acidophilus fills the holes in the lining of your gut...if they aren't filled..that is where bugs/sickness enters the pictures. If your gut is in great health you are less likely to get sick.
As for ear infections...garlic oil or mullien oil in the ear is great for healing EI's. Also eating and taking things that help keep the rest of you health prevents your body from contracting the bug that give you ear infections... |

Re: Probiotics info
Ok, that helps. You said that you don't use them on a daily basis, I believe. Or maybe that was Kym. My problem is that during the week if I am working outside of the home and ds has to be in daycare, would it help us avoid getting sick as often as we otherwise would do you think?

Re: Probiotics info

Re: Probiotics info
Hi, thanks for the info about probiotics. My chiro has been telling me to use them with my boys who have allergies. I have discussed them with a local supplements salesperson, but not purchased any because I'm still a bit confused and my kids are already using several supplements plus their asthma meds and my dh is worried they will become "pill dependent." I did not check out everything you posted yet. I was wondering if you listed any info about ingesting more quantities of food with these organisms v. ingesting a supplement. I have recently started using MISO but haven't always had much lick (LOL typo) incorporating it into my usual recipes. I try to serve yogurt often as well.

Re: Probiotics info
the biggest thing I can think of is that you can't consume enough yogurt or kefir and get the same about of bacteria as you can in a pill. Now that doesn't mean that the food isn't a good thing. It also depends upon which yogurt you buy....

Thanks! I noticed somewhere in this thread that the treatment of the supplement changed its usefulness. Does that apply to cooking as well? Like if you use your yogurt/kefir/miso in a cooked dish, would that kill or change the useful organisms?

Re: Probiotics info
This thread has been inspiring. I've seen a few of you mention Garden of Life products. Has anyone actually read The Makers Diet? We love it, it makes complete sene (to us) and we were following it pretty good for a while. But have slipped back to old ways since me getting pg (the 1st trimester is a killer for any eat habit..lol), and moving. But now that we are settled and dd is sick I'm much mroe motivated. We never purchased anything outside the regualr vitamins, but we were very interested in adding probiotics, green food supplements, and esential oils as the book talks about to our daily habits. I'll have to pick my book up again and read it.
As for ear infections and any infections, cows milk (any dairy) is an enemy since it thickens secretions and can make things worse. Whenever any of us gets sick we cut off dairy. Same with refined sugars and most carbs. I was giving dd only goats milk yogurt, but she had some of my cows milk yogurt one day and won't go back. lol, i can't blame her. But we do only give he goats milk for drinking if she wants milk, or to mix in her foods. We gave her goats milk products since day one of introducing any other type of milk besides breastmilk. I was usually buyng goat cheese as well, but they are usually soft and that's tough to pack verses shoving a cheese stick into my purse. lol Well, again, thanks for the boost ladies! i'm very excited now to return to our Makers Diet. (For those wondering, it's not a diet like eat onyl ths amount and such and suhc, to lose weight. It's about being healthy off GOd's plan for how we are to eat, and if you want to do it to lose weight,t hen it will just happen if you are eating healthy (and exercsing).)

Re: Probiotics info
My 12 mo old just started her first round of antibiotics a few days ago. She is still bfing and I have some Jarro-dophilus pills in the fridge(about a yr old). Could I take them and expect her to benefit or could I break open the capsule on her tongue or with a sip of water. She is fighting me every step of trying to get the antibiotic in her(not that I blame her it's bubblegum flavor YUCK). But I don't relish the thought of trying to get something else in her that she might hate. What about just plain yogurt? Is acidophillus enough? I really want to avoid a yeast problem if I can at all! Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Probiotics info
you just place the powder on your nipple and she should just nurse it off...or place it on your finger and have her suck it off. Most of them have no or mild flavor. I don't think she would enough from you taking it.

Re: Probiotics info
Thank you so much for the helpful information, Rachel. Did you type all that in??
I have been looking at the Garden of Life probiotic for my daughter who is exhibiting many ADHD symptoms. I was wondering how this product fits in to the criteria in your excerpts. You did type that products that contain multiple strains are not the best because one strain can become dominant. The GoL probiotic has 13 strains, and I think there is an "Ultra" with 21. Which one are you using? Do you think this is better worse, or the same as purchasing the four species seperately and using them as prescribed in those excerpts? Also, how would you adjust these doses for children? My seven year old probably needs a therapeutic dose to begin with then a maintainance dose. We are also initiating a sugar free diet beginning May 1st. Should I introduce thr probiotics as soon as I begin the diet or should I wait a little bit? Thanks! |

Re: Probiotics info
I also noticed the GoL probiotics are not refrigerated. Your article warns against that

Re: Probiotics info
GoL probotics are a different kind of probiotics. They are good. I don't give them to my kids because they are a hard horse pill type..I get the kind that are in gel caps or a chewable. Jarrow-dophilus is a good brand.
ps. no I didn't type all that...I copied and pasted..hehe |
