probiotics......

sooooooo the saga continues! he is actually doing a lot better, finally but i'm crossing my fingers. one of my clients put me in touch with a doula she met and the doula (who wasn't all hippy, i was a bit worried when i called but i will try anything) recommend that we put munchi (his most used nickname from me and jeff has picked it up too) and me on probiotics. i guess she had a son who had all the stuff munchi but they weren't diagnosing that stuff yet and probiotics got rid of the acid reflux, and it has worked for quite a few of her clients too. i have been taking them for about a week or so and it seems to be helping him. the brand she recommend for him i can not find anywhere, oh well sorry i could order it from target but then i would have to order a whole case and it would cost me $500.

probiotics, are the good bacteria in your stomach that help with digestion, and since he gets all of his food from me if i'm all out of whack so is he. apparently i needed some work, after some research i found out that antibiotics can mess you all up so i'm wondering if the antibiotics i got in labor contributed to some of this. but who knows, i found a website that claims probiotics can help treat autism.... not too sure about that one but the theroy was interesting:if you have messed up stomach flora you won't get the nutrients you need, cause lack of brain development. when a child is tiny the breast milk provides these flora for the baby, i see several holes in the this theroy, but none the less---

he is still hanging on to a bit of the absolute hatred of the car seat, but less so now. it isn't an all out scream fest when he is in there but there is quite a bit of fussing and crying usually till he falls asleep, which makes me feel horrible!

if anyone can find probiotics in a drop form called Bio Gio, please please please let me know!
