The Sears Parenting Library's latest addition is an exploration of how nutrition affects the brains and behavior of youngsters. N.D.D., or Nutrition Deficit Disorder, as coined by Dr. Bill Sears, is based on the idea that if "you put junk food into a child's brain, you get back junk behavior and learning."
THE N.D.D. BOOK will be a must-have for all parents who want to help their children become healthier, happier, and better prepared to learn.

ACIDOPHILUS
This is a powder form of the normal, friendly bacteria that
live in our intestines (called flora). Our intestinal flora helps
regulate our digestion and stool patterns. Yeast also lives in our
intestines. The yeast and the bacterial flora are constantly
competing for space, and generally they keep each other in check.
Sometimes, however, our bacterial flora can get depleted, such
as when taking antibiotics. This allows the yeast to overgrow,
which can then lead to a variety of problems:
Taking acidophilus replenishes our bacterial flora and
reduces overgrow of yeast.
Dr. Sears suggests: Take an acidophilus supplement, or try another probiotic like Culturelle®, one capsule daily. Culturelle contains another beneficial probiotic strain, Lactobacillus GG.
HOW TO TAKE IT
Acidophilus is available at most health food and nutrition
stores. It comes in two forms –- capsules and powder.
- Adults – take the capsules as directed on the bottle.
- children – capsules are ok if able to swallow, otherwise
give 1 teaspoon of the powder once a day in milk, juice, or
food.
- Infants – make a paste using water or breastmilk and rub this once
a day in baby’s mouth, or put 1 teaspoon of the powder in
formula once a day if bottlefeeding.
WHEN TO TAKE IT
We suggest you begin acidophilus at the start of any
of the above problems, as well as when taking antibiotics.
Continue taking it for one week after the problem or antibiotic
is finished.
