Started Cytoflora today
Started with 6 drops - we’ll be ramping up to 5 dropperfuls 2x a day. If we see good things from this, we’ll go as high as 5 dropperfuls 2x a day and gauge the best dose for him.
Update - 1/27/2010: After speaking with a friend, I decided to be a little bit quicker at increasing the dose here. Today was his first day of 2 dropperfuls 2x a day. Nothing to report yet - but no negatives either. Also wanted to note that we have not seen any OCD yet either. Other probiotics with strep strains make him OCD within a matter of a day or two.

This is totally totally totally pre-mature - but yesterday, he was talking like no tomorrow. The stuff coming out of his mouth had us looking at each other in utter shock. (This was at 3 dropperfuls which I gave him twice.) Today, we’re doing four twice. We shall see.

Nicholas is doing great on this! We’re up to 5 dropperfuls 2x a day and we’re seeing more language, he’s more in tune with us and he really just wants to help us with everything. ….and we’re getting WHY questions!!!
Update - 2/12/2010 - We have not seen any OCD from this supplement like we have with other strep-strain probiotics. With other probiotics containing the streptococcus strain, we would see OCD symptoms in about 2 days which would progressively get worse as time went on. We’ve seen nothing like this with Cytoflora.
Update: February 13, 2010
We’ve finished the first bottle of cytoflora and the results speak for themselves. I was able to remove the additional magnesium he was getting and he’s pooping just fine without it. The language boost was definately a good one - definately worth the money in my opinion.
Update: March 8, 2010
About a week ago, I lowered the dose down to 5 dropperfuls once a day and have not lost the gains we made.

Amy, I updated my post - I dont know if you would get an automatic update or not…
Anyway, we’re up to 2 dropperfuls 2x a day. No negatives whatsoever. I haven’t seen anything just yet. Also, one thing which was important to me as this does have the strep strain is whether or not this would make Nicholas OCD. On other probiotics which have the streptococcus strain, he would start with OCD tendencies within a few days. As of today, we are not seeing any signs of OCD.

Thanks for the update! I was a bit concerned about the Strep strain too so that’s great that you’re not seeing any OCD. I was wondering - are you still doing oxytocin? Did you see any good things from it? My son has quite a bit of anxiety so I’m always looking for something to help. BTW, I ordered cytoflora and liverlife yesterday so I’m hoping to get that started soon.

No, I did not continue with oxytocin. (I should update that thread, thanks for the reminder!) - We really was not thrilled with the sprays up the nose. I never saw anything from the 2 or 3 sprays per day, but then heard we could do up to 8 sprays per day. I just *knew* Nicholas was never having that.
Have you tried L-Theanine for the anxiety? It works great here - I even have family members take it when they’re stressing or anxious.
I love Liver Life here - it really does help.

My son gets some L-Theanine but I’m not sure it’s enough. What dosage are you at? My son is 60 pounds (7 years old).

I gave him 1 cap (100mg, I believe) 3x a day. that seemed to do the trick.

*just edited post to reflect 5 dropperfuls 2x a day (not 2).

Love that you are seeing good things on cytoflora too. The cytoflora and the AC chelation seem to be key here too. We are seeing incredible things almost daily! I am going to try upping Chloe’s dose when our new bottle gets inere in a day or two. We are still at 7 droppers once a day on an empty stomach. Keep updating on what you see!

Cytoflora is on my list of things to try. I’m anxious to learn about how it helps Nicholas!
