Question about bacterial dysbiosis and using probiotics
I have been giving my son Acidophilus for a few weeks and noticedthat his breath became very bad not long after we started it. Iread on here that this could mean it was killing of some bacteriaovergrowth.
Sure enough, we just got back his Metabolic Analysis Profile. Idon’t understand most of it but bacterial dysbiosis is listed as 7on a scale of 0-10 (from Great smokies lab). I have order a betterprobiotic that was recommended to me made by Klaire.
I have a few questions I’m hoping you guys can help me out with.First, does sugar feed bad bacteria growth like it does yeast?Also, does the die-off of the bad bacteria cause behavior problemslike I have read yeast die off does? I’ve read about people givingactive charcoal to help with yeast die off….do you do this withbad bacteria die off? What should I expect in the process.
How hard is this to correct and how long should I expect it totake. How will I know if the problem is better, short of runninganother lab test? My child’s bowel movements are normal, and heisn’t complaining of stomach problems. I’m not aware of any outwaresymptoms. He is however very sensative to many foods.
Do I understand correctly that I should change the type of probioticthat I give him from time to time? Do I always give him a probioticjust to keep the intestines healthy or is there a negative to doingthat? The one I have now says to give it 1/2 hour before mealtime. Do I always do this? Does it have to be followed by food?Answers to these….or any other questions I need to know aboutprobiotics and bacterial dysbiosis would be appreciated. I won’tsee the DAN doc until mid November….wanted to start addressingthis before then.
