Probiotics

[Barb]

My son spent two weeks in the hospital because of a blockage from Crohn's.
He was on antibiotics for a week, and is now on a half elemental diet and 40 mg of prednisone/day. When is it a good time to introduce probiotics into his system to replenish his system?

They had me start right away I bought good belly at the health food store and have a cup in the morning. It is very good and makes me feel good as well

My doctor didn't want me to start on them right away. He wanted me to get some things healed up inside first. I haven't started on them yet, but have been thinking more and more about it. I see my doctor again in a few weeks so I think I will be asking him then.

My suggestion would be to see what the doctor thinks would be a good time.

I'm looking into making my own yogurt, which is supposedly better than any probiotic you can buy. But until then, I understand that Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra is a good one for Crohn's.
