I decided to post this here so more people read it.

If you’re at your witts end and don’t know what to do next, try acidopholus aka probiotics!

If I had known how much of an impact this would’ve made for us, I would’ve gotten it sooner. I had heard about it, but just didn’t realize or understand. What have you got to lose??? That’s what I wish I would’ve heard before. It can’t do any harm that I know of.

Henry’s been sleeping peacefully for almost a week now and he’s 20mths! He’s NEVER had more than one night since he was born. Lucy started sleeping through as well, every night.

Also, the health food store brands will be far more beneficial than the drug store ones. For us at least. the one at the drug store had 10,000 units as opposed to 3 billion units from the health food store. Huge difference. Some of them have 12 billion units to take once a day. much easier.

Just wanted to share what a miracle cure this has been for us.

I forgot to add that Henry is also able to eat virtually anything we give him without having any sort of reaction.

We just had him tested for allergies and all came back negative. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried more foods.

That is fantastic!

Can I ask you want brand you are using? I have probably looked at every brand there is and there seems to be something in each one that my son has a problem with.

After talking to someone at Beeyoutiful we went over everything he has a problem with and they said Tummy Tuneup doesnt’ have anything that causes him problems. It arrived in the mail and states “contains trace amount of soy protein (peptides)”. He failed a milk/soy trial a week or so ago so I have not given it to him.

That’s great, Amy! Glad to hear that you’re finally getting some sleep. When did you start the probiotics? Which brand are you using?

For Dylan for a short time we used Therbiotic Complete. He had no issues with this one….. We started slow (1/4 capsule) in a bottle and then slowly moved up to 1 capsule a day. I think it helped for a while, but then we stopped…..

oh my gosh.. the same thing has happened to shane as well! we just started baby-dophilus, about a week ago…and he has been sleeping sooo much better. i just put a 1/4th of a teaspoon of it in one bottle a day.. sometimes even every other day… i couldnt figure out why he is sleeping better.. but now i know! and mine does contain trace amounts of milk and lactose.. but i dont think its a problem with him.. and i read some where that its ok for lactose intolerant people anyhow.

I tried when Aidan was younger and they really hurt his tummy, but I have been thinking of trying again now that he’s older.
