Q: My baby is acting cranky, I think maybe she's constipated.  What is the best kind of food or formula for constipated babies? What advice can you give me to help?

A: I am happy to help. I recommend determining food intolerances and allergies – cow milk and soy milk are common.

Breast feeding is the best and do it often – every few hours. It is hard on you at first but baby will gain more weight. You will be able to make more breast milk by using the herb Feverfew and also eating more protein. Whey Protein is best but if you cannot do dairy, then use yellow pea protein powder as that is quite nutritious as well.

Fish Oil for baby is a good idea along with Vitamin D3 and a potent probiotic.

I highly recommend giving baby one quarter (1/4) teaspoon of ProBiota Infant during one feeding every day up until she is 2 years old.

If you are breast feeding, you should be taking about 6,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day. This will be enough for you and baby.
Vitamin D360 has 2,000 IU per drop so 3 drops a d...

Q: There is a huge lack of accurate information about MRSA online.  I have been bathing in a separate tub and bleaching it if others need to use it after me.  I have been infection free, thanks to your recommendations by the way, for two months.  So, my question is how long do I need to be concerned about others getting MRSA from me?  I want to be able to bathe my little children in the tub without having to bleach beforehand.  Will I have MRSA forever now?  I can't find an knowledgeable answer to that question and many others online.  What are the facts about MRSA?  Thank you so much for your time.  I look forward to hearing from you.

A: Good to hear from you. I'm glad you are feeling much better and that my previous recommendations are helping.

MRSA is a strain of staph aureus that we doctors have created by the ignorant use of prescribing antibiotics incorrectly.

We have staph aureus on our skin all the time; however, we should not have MRSA. It is merely a question of balancing the ba...

Q: Should my toddler take the probiotic that I ordered for me?  The infant one says for kids up to two years old, but she is 3 and a half.   With the powder, do i just mix it in with my food or a drink?  I was a little confused.

A: Your toddler can take the ProBiota 12. It is what I give my boys who are above 2 yrs old.

Give them less than your dose – give about 1/8th teaspoon for her to a 1/4 teaspoon of ProBiota 12 Powder. You can give the ProBiota powders directly to the mouth. No need to mix in food or water. You may mix in food or drink but no need as the ProBiota tastes good.

Q: My 17 year old has been very forgetful and unattentive all his life, but I have refused to put him on ADD meds. Are there any vitamins or supplements that can help him with his focus?

A: We do have some products that are designed to nutritionally support ADD.  BioFocus food powders from Biogenesis provide balanced nutrition for healthy meal replacement shakes and nutrients like ginkgo biloba, B vitamins, and magnesium that support adrenal and cognitive function.  Biogenesis also makes the BioFocus Bar, which is not as complete as the BioFocus shake, but it requires no preparation or refrigeration and can be tucked into a backpack for a healthy at-school snack.  BioFocus powder comes in two flavors, Rice Berry, which is dairy free if food sensitivities are an issue, and Whey Chocolate.

Another nutrient that is believed to be a factor in ADD/ADHD are omega-3 essential fatty acids.  You might find this study interesting; their results definitely suggest that ADD/ADHD persons may benefit ...

Q: About a year ago I was diagnosed with an overgrowth of bacteria in my digestive tract. I was then put on some strong antibiotics to get rid of it. I still suffer from digestive upsets and prone to diarrhea. I don't want to keep taking antibiotics and would like to take a something that will actually make me feel well naturally. Any suggestions on a probiotic?

A: In short, I recommend you take ProBiota 12 Powder for 1 month and then you will no longer need it.

Consider taking 1/2 teaspoon of ProBiota 12 Powder at dinner time every day for a month.

For your situation, I also recommend you consider Saccharomyces boulardii as well. Consider taking 2 capsules at dinner along with the ProBiota 12 Powder.

Do this for one month and then you will no longer need Saccharomyces boulardii.

Then switch to ProBiota 12 capsules and take 2 capsules at dinner for 2 weeks and then reduce to one capsule at dinner time as a maintenance dose.

For additional information about probiotics, I just wrote an articl...

Q: Have a friend with a UTI for five days now... I suggested the unsweetened cranberry... then blueberries... then D-mannose with all the other stuff in it as well... now what... she still has it! I wonder if it just takes time to heal. (originally posted on HealthE Goods Facebook page)

A:

If she is beginning to have back pain, she may need antibiotics. Don't want a simple UTI to become a kidney infection.

Probiotics are key to helping treat a UTI as well. Consider taking 4 capsules of ProBiota 12 orally for 2 weeks and also inserting 1 vaginally each night for a week.
