Re: Are there any SCD Legal Probiotics ?

[Guest guest]

As for dairy-free yogurt starters, I see that the one that GI ProHealth sells

has L.casei instead of L.acidophilus. Is this OK? Can we just add some

acidophilus to it? Is Custom Probiotics then the only supplier of SCD-legal

non-dairy yogurt starter??

than a bacteria. There are plenty of other bacterial strains available, with

" experts " promoting their use, but most don't have much longevity (to know the

long-term damage possibilities). Elaine said no to any strain of Bifidus as it

isn't a community-minded strain and can mutate easily, causing more damage to

the gut.
