I used to take Mutaflor. It is a superior product (a doc from Germany prescribed it to me) anyway, sorry to say but Mutaflor is not legal on the SCD. This was discussed a while back on PecanBread. Not only is the bacteria not legal but yes, there are illegal fillers in Mutaflor.

Jodi,I remember doing the research and discussing Mutaflor on this list several months back. Regardless of the illegal fillers, ( there are illegal fillers in the Lialda and Tamoxifen I take) why is the bacteria illegal? It has great studies behind it for UC and is used extensively in Europe. Hard to get here, I remember finding an international pharmacy that would ship it but it was extremely cost prohibitive. I do remember having the discussion with Marilyn at the time because I was so excited about it, but very crestfallen about the really high price for the dose that was needed to put UC into remission. I won't be taking it, but I'm curious about any info you might have.

Thanks,
