Probiotics

[hennythe100footbird]

Just wondering if any parents of Autistic Children have tried Probiotics, and if so, what was the outcome?

I have done. We use opti bac kids. Initially it made his tummy a bit upset for a couple of days but then we have found he has seemed calmer and less sensitive to noise and prone to meltdowns. We have been using them for two years now. They are fairly pricey though which is a pain.

There's some evidence for L. Reuteri I read a while ago (should come up on a web search). I think the future is tailored probiotics though as we all have different gut populations and what one person needs may be different to another. We haven't used one consistently enough to say. Interested in others' views.

@Hurricane74 thanks for this. Sorry for the delay in replying but I haven't been in for a while x

I'll have a look in to Optibac xx
