Topic: Threelac dieoff or allergy?

Good day! I have just started giving my daughter 1/2 packet of Threelac per day.

Within about 20 minutes she goes off the wall, not in an anaphylactic way, e.g., no wheezing or swelling or hives. If I saw any of that, I would have stopped immediately.

But her mood goes through the roof. Hyper, annoying. These are her reactive behaviors when something is off. But when it passes, her intelligence shoots up, and she seems better than ever. Sweet, smart, happy.

I would love to hear other experiences with this or other probiotics. Can they cause a reaction like this?

Thank you!

Mostly I have heard stomach complaints with Threelac.

Why not switch to THERAlac? I think it's a much better product.

www.theralac.com

PS.. It could be a die off reaction .. yes.

i like theralac but i had a better dieoff reaction with threelac.

isn't threelac specifically geared toward killing yeast while theralac is a probiotic?

i get these two confused. several of my friends had very positive results with threelac tho.

oh i forgot something. there is a rumour, well, some consider it fact, that threelac has some sort of bacteria which MAY be fatal to humans. and it's banned in some countries, australia think is one.

but i have also read that a competitor started all these rumours to discredit them so i don't know.

haven't heard anything about them in the u.s. tho but please research it yourself. i just typed in threelac ban and got some stuff.

all i know, and my friends, is that it worked!!

ok, just reread your post. if it doesn't kill yeast, then how do you have such a reaction?

and there's one site which says it specifically does. but then, hey, anybody can say anything.

Anything that boosts the body's response to the yeast could cause a reaction. Hope I said that right!!

Just like taking a transfer factor which boosts the immune system.. you will herx on it.

I bought Threelac thinking it was a good probiotic and then when I read the instruction it said to not take while taking abx! What?!!?

It also has yeast as one of the ingredients. I don't get that. If I'm trying to kill yeast why would I put it in my body?

Anyway, my box is sitting unopened at home.
