I found out too late and, after having to get a social worker involved, pressured the neonatologist to take her off of the pointless and harmful killers of the microbiome. There was no infection but they thought they’d give them to her anyway. The problem with Perla came when Stanford decided to give her prophylactic antibiotics. Digestion, brain health, immune system function, inflammation levels, well-being, protection against pathogens and nutrient synthesis all heavily rely on a healthy gut. We have 9 times the bacteria than cells in our bodies. My darling was cured of constipation and her daddy had made a discovery.įunctions of the microbiome/gut bacteria/gut flora. We began to see a change a week in and at a week and a half she was very consistent with beautiful poops and no crying. I opened the capsules and put them in with her homemade formula. The probiotics I had been giving my daughter were not making it through the harsh 1.5 to 3.5 pH of her stomach to reach her intestines where they needed to populate. The spore is a fallback position for the bacteria: a way of keeping the species going in case of a harsh winter, a drought, etc. In fact, it can be heated to over 200 degrees without dying. A spore form of a bacteria, on the other hand, is resilient and a survivor that can last for years without being refrigerated. What is a spore based probiotic?īacteria, when they are in a probiotic, are delicate and need to be refrigerated to survive. He talked about spore based probiotics and, initially, I didn’t really get what he was saying but all I cared about was if I could try them on an infant. A Microbiome Labs rep was setting up his booth and, still on my quest to help Perla, I asked him what he was all about.
It had been a year and I was at a chiropractic convention. I was on the phone with sales reps, heads of companies and pediatricians but, hundreds of dollars later and nothing was working. There was raw milk, raw cream, fermented cod liver oil, nutritional yeast, coconut oil, high vitamin butter oil and a host of probiotics, to name a few. Of course, she was getting her spine adjusted, her diet was breast milk and I was making a homemade formula. I put my doctor’s hat on and went to work to find the cure.
This eventually passed but she was left with severe constipation what would lead to pain and crying. It was a trying time for my wife and me but we were thrilled to have our family together.Īt home, we had to closely monitor Perla when she ate as, at times, her heart rate would go down and her oxygen levels would fall. My wife would tend to Perla and I would take Stella on a walk. During this time, I was working and going back and forth from Saratoga to Palo Alto almost daily. Stella came home two weeks later but Perla had struggles that kept her at Stanford Hospital for 40 days. On 8/3/16 my twin girls, Stella and Perla, were born 7 weeks premature.
