They are going to be adding a probiotic to Graycie's daily regimine due to the c diff and colitis. Hopefully this will keep her from getting c diff again from taking so many antibiotics. Learning something new everyday.

We give Cammie an Acidophillius from Publix (not sure if you have a Publix supermarkets near you). I belive it has over 1 billion active cultures and it's a tiny little pill. If your little one doesn't swallow pills yet I would stick to a capsule that can be opened and sprinkled like enzymes. I have tried several different brands and you can go generic as long as the active culture count is high enough. We used to give dd yogurt with the active culturtes in it but she would sometimes gag on the texture so this was an easier fix.

www.insidecf.blogspot.com I just posted last night about my journey with supplements.

I recommend looking into probiotics. I use the accuflora brand b/c its cheaper, wider variety in cultures, and I double it.

I also recommend Vit C b/c it boosts the immunesystem. My non-cf daughter gets 500mgs a day.

Also garlic is a natural antibiotic. You can get it in supplement form - but You could buy the real thing, blend it, and give it in a dropper (Id say this is the most effective way).

Also look into vit D, fish oil -anti inflammatory... hum O and maybe Fizzy-NAC -but you have to order it from Canada.
