My 7 year old son started to develop hoarding disorder and extreme anxiety , especially separation anxiety , about 10 months ago. This was completely out of the blue. He had no disorders before Sept 2014 . He was just a happy , creative little kid. Gradually over a few months he became unable to throw anything in the garbage and began to collect refuse (juiceboxes, bits of paper, straws, rubberbands, leaves, sticks, bottle caps, used napkins and tissues) in his pockets. He would cry and act terror stricken when we dropped him off for school every day. Ultimately he walked to school with eyes closed for fear of picking things up to save. To him the world was a pinata. He became argumentative and teary and had extremely 'rigid thinking'. Basically he had OCD. But the real kind not the kind where you think you can't part with a favorite toy or book. After lots of blood tests (8 vials in one particular go), a pediatrician, 4 psychologists including a CBT specialist, a neurolgist, an allergist and finally an immunologist - we considered the diagnosis of PANS/PANDAS as his strep titers were high. There was a month of antibiotics followed by no improvement. Our family life was deteriorating and we were all tortured by his behavior as his OCD ruled our lives. FINALLY he took a week of antifungal medication and suddenly all was becoming normal. Then he went off this medication and he bounced back into anxiety and ocd and general terror. Then the immunologist said that we needed to give him PROBIO GOLD.. that he had an imbalance of good/bad bacteria in his gut and it was affecting his brain. I read all the stuff about how you are not supposed to give a PANDAS kid a probiotic containing Steptococcus thermophilus because it will make them feel worse and then i said to heck with it. I started twisting open these capsules and stirring them into yogurt or pediasure (he is a poor eater) - 1x per day .. From that day forward and until now ( that was 3 months ago) .. we have had our son back. The fears, the anxieties and the constant collecting of flotsam and jetsam of life ..are GONE. He laughs, he tearlessly goes to school , he goes places at all , he can throw out or recycle things. His garbage collections have 'disappeared' without incident. Thank you Pro Bio Gold for making this product.UPDATE. It's been nearly 3 years since we started regularly giving our son PROBIO GOLD - about every other day and he is still free of OCD. We also note that he rarely ever gets sick and everyone in our household is rarely sick . (We take it sometimes too)UPDATE2 04/10/20 My son still takes probio gold 2x per week and is healthy and OCD-Free.. he is even getting rid of things!

My 9 yr. old daughter and I both have been diagnosed with IBS. We have been taking 1/2 tablet each for the past year and our symptoms have been much less frequent and less severe. Not only that but we've don't get as sick as often and when we do we recover quicker. This product was recommended to me by a friend of mine who does a lot of research on product ingredients and for natural products. This has all 3 strains of pro-biotics and are live if kept refrigerated thus making them more beneficial and effective. Really glad we started using this and will continue to do so.

For those of you concerned with this product's effectiveness if not refrigerated, don't be. I did not notice the refrigeration restriction when I purchased it and did everything wrong--ordered in July ( I live in the desert) and did not refrigerate until October. In spite of my ignorance, it kicked in as soon as I took it during a miserable bout on very strong antibiotics. I will not be without it now, but will take care of it appropriately and will order in the winter.

I have used this product before from a different vendor. It seems that since I have used this daily, I have only had one cold in the last year and it was less severe than most colds. For quite a few years, I have had a cold through the whole Christmas season and thankfully I was healthy this past season which made me be able to accomplish more instead of going through the motions and feeling tired and drugged with antihistamines. Additional note: This particular product must be refrigerated. You never know about taking this stuff but hopefully it will enhance my immune system.

Most effective probiotic I have tried.

Love this product, truly helpful with gut help. I take it every other day and it does work. I've been using it for several years now and will not try another brand.
