How can the intestinal Clostridia overgrowth be controlled?
A number of children with autism with elevated Clostridia metabolites have responded favorably to treatment with Flagyl or vancomycin. However, in most cases Flagyl or vancomycin therapy is not needed in most cases. Just a supplement with 10-20 billion cells per day of Lactobacillus acidophilus GG may control this abnormality even in extreme cases. Lactobacillus acidophilus GG is available from both VRP (775 884-1300) and Klaire Laboratories (800 533-7255).
