We found Culturelle first, and we use the chewable tablets. He loves them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2207399 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 09:30:12 +0000 808love 2207399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor recommended Culturelle. It's the most scientifically sound research behind it. Plus he was a skeptic but used it and worked. It is currently working on me but haven't tried with LO yet. I think it is safe over one year old but read the package. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2207392 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 09:13:40 +0000 birdofafeather 2207392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Udos choice. Powder that we mix in with water or milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206884 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:02:33 +0000 kiddosc 2206884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used BioGaia also, E thought they were candies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206768 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 12:05:36 +0000 MamaG 2206768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used Florastar capsules (empty the powder into something) and Culturelle powder. We mix both into applesauce or yogurt. </p> <p>We also push yogurt and drink Kefir when she's on antibiotics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206758 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:54:35 +0000 GreenThumb 2206758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @lady grey: Thank you! Glad to hear that worked for your LOs.</p> <p>@pinkb: Thank you! I'll have to look at that one, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206742 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:46:50 +0000 lady grey 2206742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids culturelle, our Targe carries it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206730 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:41:43 +0000 Smurfette 2206730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Culturelle for Kids last time. They are tablets that they chew up. She thought they were candy so had no issues with getting her to eat them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206710 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:31:25 +0000 Adira 2206710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: Yeah, that's the one my pediatrician recommended when my infant had to go on antibiotics and was only on breast milk. We just mixed in his bottles and he still guzzled them down just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206705 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:26:46 +0000 pinkb 2206705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have used the BioGaia, DD loves to take them. They are just a little flavored chewable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206701 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:24:56 +0000 GreenThumb 2206701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Thank you! Sounds like Culturelle is one that is often easy for kids to take. Good to know it can't be detected in milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206695 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:22:57 +0000 GreenThumb 2206695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Thank you! I was just reading about Florastor use with other probiotics, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206691 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:21:47 +0000 Adira 2206691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: We've used Culturelle's powdered packets and mixed with milk before. Haven't had any complaints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206685 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:16:53 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2206685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Biok is supposed to be a good one but it doesn't agree with me and I think it's yucky personally. :P</p> <p>Another one to try (and could be done in conjunction with biok as biok is bacterial cultures and this is a yeast) is Florastor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206670 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:09:47 +0000 GreenThumb 2206670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: Thank you! I'm headed there after the pharmacy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206666 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:07:53 +0000 charlotte 2206666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your little one likes smoothies and you have a whole foods near you, I really like bio-k. It's refrigerated and tastes kind of like yogurt. I just put it in a smoothie for my little guy and eat it as is myself. There strawberry flavor is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-antibiotics-recommend-a-probiotic#post-2206642 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 10:45:46 +0000 GreenThumb 2206642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old just tested positive for strep, so she is going to be on antibiotics for the first time. The nurse on the phone barely let me get a word in, so I didn't have a chance to ask about probiotics. Any recommendations for something you've used for your LO when they were on antibiotics? Thanks! </p>
