Does anyone know if these 2 probiotics are OK for infants with intolerances to milk, soy and egg? Has anyone used these? Good/Bad?

I’ve been looking for the Bluebonnet one, but I can’t find a store in Eugene that carries that brand. These were the two most promising ones that I’ve found in my area.

I would ask the company about the vege lubricant – it could be soy and probably is. That soy is in everything! In the 2nd one you have listed, the maltodextrin could be derived from corn, but if Reidun doesn’t have any trouble with corn, that one may be ok.

The one I buy from Meadowsweet HF Store is: DDS-Plus Acidophilus-Bifidus with FOS. It is dairy-free, no wheat, no eggs, no years, no sugar, no corn, no soy, no artificial flavors or preservatives. It is made by UAS Labs, 9953 Valley View Road, Eden Prarie, MN 55344 http://www.uaslabs.com

I talked to the makers of MEGAFLORA, they assure me their probiotic is free of soy, dairy, eggs and corn. I’ve asked what their bacteria is cultured on and they said they would have to get back to me with that info.

I’m going to go out and get it. It seems like a really good probiotic. I’ll let you guys know how it goes! (I’ll post it in Dianne’s vitamin/probiotic section…good idea Dianne to keep all that info together!)

Thank you to all the mothers out there that told me about the probiotics they use, unfortunately, the majority of them I couldn’t find in Eugene.
