My DS is gradually getting over a horrible case of thrush. His ped GI recommended a few probiotics. All of them state that they have trace
amounts of milk or soy. I ordered VSL #3 through the pharmacy and he
has been taking it for a week now. He seems to be feeling better with
each day. My concern is that I noticed him wheezing again when
sleeping. He used to wheeze and sound very congested when he was
breastfed. We are also slowly changing over to Neocate from Elecare
(insurance issue).

Have any of you used a probiotic successfully with a MSPI child?

Yes, we use ProThera Infant Formula Probiotics by Klaire Labs. They are allergen free 🙂

VSL #3 is supposed to be a very potent probiotic, but unfortunately it is cultured on milk and does contain some dairy.

The 2 that I would recommend as being *completely* dairy and soy free are:

Klaire Labs TherBiotic Infant formula (as Amber mentioned)

and Kirkman Labs Pro-Bio Gold or Multi-Flora Spectrum (they have the same makeup, but the Multi-Flora Spectrum is 1.5 times more potent than the Pro-Bio Gold)

Hi there,

your child might be reacting to the milk in the VSL. As others have mentioned, Probio gold and Klaire labs are very hypoallergenic and can be used if your child is dealing with MSPI. We are using Klaire labs and digestive enzymes to help with MSPI.
