Probiotics and Type 1

The use of probiotics can be very beneficial for both you and your little one and in fact is crucial if your child suffers from an auto-immune disease like our children, broken immune system or has taken antibiotics (hopefully not).

Probiotics are friendly bacteria found in foods and dietary supplements that can help bring back the balance of good bacteria.

When your child is given antibiotics both the good and bad bacteria are being destroyed.  Good bacteria (probiotics) are needed to restore what was lost, boost their immunity and help their body fight infection.

We LOVE babyflora by RenewLife, in fact we LOVE all of their products. But there are quite a few good ones on the market if you do a google search.  Make sure that they are specifically for children and check, double check the ingredient list for any additives, milk derivitives or other funky stuff. :)

  1. I started my 3 year old daughter on the probiotics and enzymes and I am shocked at the results. Her levels are amazing and she requires less insulin. It seems to be making the small amount of insulin I do have to give her work better in her body. Thank you for the link. I got the teddybear chewables and she loves them. We are moving towards a combination of the paleo diet with an enphasis on the raw food. Results do far are promising.
