For those of you who give your ASD kids (or spectrum-ish kids) probiotics, how much do you give?

she eats it like it's candy, so if i'm not watching her, she'll take 6 tabs!! usually, though, i give her 3-4/day.

It really depends on the brand. But we do the marked dose on the box--for the kind we use now, that's 2 tabs a day.

Sorry - I should have been more specific - I was also wondering how much each tablet contains
For example, the brand I got (Kid's Kyo-Dophilus) says that each tablet contains 1 billion live cells, and the recommended dose is 1 tablet per day. I'm just not sure if that's enough.

You really can't overdose on probiotics. I routinely give double the amount on the package of the probiotics we use (our doctor told us to do double...he also told me there is a point of diminishing returns so lots extra probably wasn't helpful though it wouldn't hurt).

When I'm working on an overgrowth, using a antibiotic (natural or otherwise), etc. I give more than double.
