Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I have definately given acidophilus to my children. There is abrand called primadophilus that is chewable and made specifically for children. Check with your local health food store. Other things to consider since this is something that comes and goes might be seasonal allergies or perhaps even anxiety. Try to look at when it occurs and if there is any pattern.

She is also at the stage where she is being very picky about eating healthy. She asks for junk food. We don't have much of that in the house but when she visits relatives, they have it. If it were up to me, she would have never been introduced to the junk food. But, what are you going to do? Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Chris,. I did suggest the Acidophilus. You can get it for children. The American Health brand makes a chewable in strawberry, banana or blueberry. Do not get the liquid; it has dairy. There is also a Jr.Dolphilus and a baby dolphilus. I'd also suggest digestive enzymes. You can open a capsule and sprinkle on the food or mix it in food. Peace, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Whole Foods sells several brands of acidophilus supplements made for children. Our family uses natural strawberry flavored chewables by LifeTime Nutritional Specialties, Inc. The bottle does not warn against giving them to children. My kids love the taste. Two of my children have had problems with stomachaches. Eliminating or limiting consumptions of the following foods has helped them: chocolate, dairy, eggs, wheat, onions, anything fried, anything really sugary, carbonated drinks, orange juice. good luck, angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Chris Could she be constipated. Many children end up with a great deal of constipation in their digestive tract and then the only way for stool to pass is in a more liquidy form. An x-ray of the trunk would reveal if she were constipated. It is also possible that she is intolerant to a food predominate in your diet (like gluten or dairy or soy).

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 What about wheat allergies or Celiac's? A friend of mine has a daughter who complained of stomachaches after eating all the time. It ended up that she is a Celiac. Anytime she ate anything with gluten she got a stomachache. On the other hand, I have one daughter who complains of stomachaches almost every time she eats. After much worry and drs visits, etc... we found that she just didn't want to eat and thought that telling us she had a stomachache would work. When we " found her out " she no longer complained about stomachaches since it no longer got her out of eating. God's Peace, Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
