Need A gluten-free Probiotic For Kids

[taweavmo3]

I have some Nature's Way for kids.... when I called regarding their gluten free status, the girl on the phone said "it looks like it's gluten free, I don't see any gluten" So, that's a big NO!

What brand of probiotics for your kids do you use? I've also noticed that alot of the kid friendly pro-b's use lactobacillus, which has traces of milk. So, I'm on the hunt for a safe brand. I'm hoping to find some at the local health store, I really don't want to shop online......I always spend so much more! Thanks.

By "for kids" do you need something that is chewable or can the child swallow pills?

[taweavmo3]

Yeah, I need something chewable that has a kid friendly flavor. It seems to be tricky finding something that tastes good, is chewable, but also casein free.

Try asking the pharmacist. Sometimes they have some behind the counter. I asked and got acidiphilus tablets suitable for kids that way.

This is what I am using right now for my DD (celiac)and son(sinus infection). I got them at Whole Foods but Iguess you can order them online.

I did just buy these from the Vitiman Shoppe and they were cheaper.

I am not sure if they are cesin free though. both should be gluten-free or so I was told!!!!!!!!

Hi Tamara,

I Just found this thread and I see it is from September. We did the Kirkman Labs stuff (loads of their products) for our child with speech delays. It is a product big within the ASD Community.

It got so expensive we stopped after some time. BUT for Gluten-free Casein-free diet, and free from other allergens, it cannot be beat.

My oldest loaded with yeast, due to overly Rx'd antibiotics, this and Nyastatin helped. He became much more verbal after this!

I hope by now you found something that has worked for you. If not, HTH!
