My son has celiac and is 2.5yrs old.

Can he have Nature's Plus Sensi-Dophilus?

It's a probiotic and it's Lactobacillus Acidophilus. Will is do any good for him?

What do you think?

I am thinking I should call his Dr. but i don't want this to be stupid question!

Celiacs can have any gluten-free probiotic. The one you are looking at has bacteria plus natural carrot powder, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, gelatin and purified water so it would be safe. I don't know much in general about feeding probiotics to young children but they help me tremendously. I usually look for one with a wider variety of bacteria than just acidophilus.

Probiotics are necessary for balancing flora in celiac guts.

They are beneficial and may do him a world of good. :)

I agree with Skylark--a full spectrum probiotic is better than just one strain as we have many in our bodies that need replenishing.

I think Custom Probiotics makes one just for infants and children.

The owner will speak with you on the phone and offer advice about dosing, etc.

Be aware that small doses work best at first, building up gradually, so his system gets used to them.

Thanks for the advice! This is what i was looking for! i walked into the vitamin store near my house and this that is what they sold me. But he said i could brin git back if it's the wrong one. so i'm going to take it back and purchase the children's probiotic from customprodiotics.com It seems very expensive but if it really works then i'm happy to spend the $.

They are an investment for sure, but the bottle will last for awhile. (I used them myself and think they are wonderful)

The man is a chemist and very knowledgable. Give him a call, tell him about your child and that he has celiac and he will tell you how to dose. He sent me great info via email. Nice guy.

My now 7 year old has taken probiotics since he was about 6 months old. They helped a lot when he was a baby with recurrent yeast infections, thrush and bowel yeast overgrowth from having to many antibiotics.

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      You could try white willow bark, but make sure it's in a safe dosage range. Herbs aren't regulated the way prescriptions are. White willow bark works a lot like aspirin but is often milder on the stomach. I used to use Nature's Way white willow bark. I was told it was corn free at that time. Double check with the manufacturer to make sure it's free of...

      Be sure to bring this up with your doctor, as there is always the possibility that you've got other issues besides celiac disease.
