Hi, my grandson is 2 and has been on atibiotics a lot in his short time on this earth. at least once a month. He had tubs in both ears at 7wks. and on top of that he has 6 ear imfections sence then. He also has acid reflux along with asma. he has had roada viruse 2 times and the croup 4 times. I have talked to the dr. till I am blue in the face about how to get him well. his last episode was Diaria that lasted for 5 wks. they did a stool sample that showed nothing. I am a big beleaver in natural meds. so 2 weeks ago I started him on sambucal he is doing much better but winter is comming and the flue seson and I want to build his emune sistemup. Know for the questions. How do you get a 2 yr old to swalow a capsule with the probiotics in it? I have read that the stomich acid will kill the probiotics if the dont have somthing to carry it into the entestines. he is on meds (zantec) for his acid reflux. are the chewables realy live probiotics? can some one out there help me I have been on the computer reading for 2 days strate and cant find the answers.
thanks for any help

Are you able to try unflavored yogurt drink or yogurt with active live bacteria?
