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!

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!
-
@charlotte: Thank you! I'm headed there after the pharmacy.
-
Biok is supposed to be a good one but it doesn't agree with me and I think it's yucky personally.
Another one to try (and could be done in conjunction with biok as biok is bacterial cultures and this is a yeast) is Florastor.
-
@GreenThumb: We've used Culturelle's powdered packets and mixed with milk before. Haven't had any complaints.
-
@2littlepumpkins: Thank you! I was just reading about Florastor use with other probiotics, too.
-
@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!
-
We have used the BioGaia, DD loves to take them. They are just a little flavored chewable.
-
@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.
-
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.
-
Kids culturelle, our Targe carries it.
-
@Smurfette: @lady grey: Thank you! Glad to hear that worked for your LOs.
@pinkb: Thank you! I'll have to look at that one, too.
-
We've used Florastar capsules (empty the powder into something) and Culturelle powder. We mix both into applesauce or yogurt.
We also push yogurt and drink Kefir when she's on antibiotics.
-
We used BioGaia also, E thought they were candies.
-
Udos choice. Powder that we mix in with water or milk.
-
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.
-
My ped said BioGaia or Culturelle. We found Culturelle first, and we use the chewable tablets. He loves them!
