RE: Why is my child chronically ill? What can I do about it?
Any good probiotic you can recommend @kiwideb . I'm in the USA and take
"align'" which works good but always looking for something better. Thanks.
I use garden of life primal defense SBO's. I'm in Canada butnorder them from US. 1 TBLSP of raw sauerkraut has more living bacteria than a bottle of probiotics though, so easy and tasty!
Thanks @bthebest7
As @bthebest7 says, Primal Defense is pretty good. We stock Bio-kult as it's the one recommended by Dr Natasha who wrote the GAPS book, and it has 14 different strains. But beyond getting as wide a range as possible, and changing formulations from time to time, you'd need to have some testing done, to see what you're low in.
Thanks, did primal defense for years when it first came out. Saved my life but I lost all my good bacteria with parasites and then a double dose of antibiotics. Doctors back then had no clue how to help me.
I would try Biokult for a while then. But start with the tiniest bit. Open a capsule and take a pinch. If you have no bad reactions (die-off of bad bugs) gradually increase. That will give you some good bacteria, but you might also be low on good yeasts. You can supplement with S. Boulardii, but would get a wider range from fermented foods as bthebest said. Kefir is great for good yeasts.
Thanks, This has worked for people you know? 14 Strains are a lot in one pill. Won't they compete with one another? Will definitely try it. Will eat dirt if it works. :-)
We have way more than 14 strains that should be in the gut, so they can cohabit happily. No formulation is right for everybody, but a lot of people have very good results from it, so worth a try.
Thanks ....
