Probiotics should be introduced no sooner than 5 days after starting the diet.
When probiotics are introduced it should be done slowly. Gradually work up to using 1.5 billion cells 2 times a day. It is best to take probiotics on an empty stomach (30 minutes before eating). Elaine recommends no more than 3 billion cells per day.
Some children exhibit increased hyperactivity or aggression when they start the probiotics. Other children get digestive symptoms.
Store probiotics in the refrigerator to maintain their potency.
