Q. I am 4 months pregnant, and gluten intolerance, allergies, and food sensitivities run in my family, so I am taking them to help my unborn baby. I also have a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old who suffer from gluten intolerance, dairy sensitivity, and mild eczema. What dosage would be appropriate for them to take? (They are 60 pounds and 36 pounds).
A. Thanks for contacting us. HLC probiotic is a great choice for you during your pregnancy and to help your unborn baby with allergies, food sensitivities and eczema. You’ll need to continue taking them throughout the time you nurse your baby, and once your baby is born, you should get the HLC Neonate product which is specific for infants 0-12 months. The ongoing 5 year trial on HLC probiotics in newborn infants shows those who were given probiotics during the first year of life did significantly better than those who did not with allergies, skin conditions, asthma, and food sensitivities.
Your 4 and 7 year old children can safely take ½ of the adult dose of HLC High Potency probiotic powder. The first month, have them take ¼ teaspoon twice daily after meals. Then, they can reduce it down to ¼ tsp per day as a maintenance dose. There is no toxicity with probiotics, so the only side effect of taking “too much” might be a little gas.
Be advised that for the first few days of supplementation with any product containing FOS, having a little gas is normal and indicates that there are not enough good strains of beneficial bacteria implanted in the GI. But as the probiotics implant, the symptoms go away.
