Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Mara, It's for my sons - one of my sons trends toward PANDAS: http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/pdn/web.htm He rarely " gets sick " with a strep infection, but instead goes through about six weeks of nasty and incredibly difficult behavioral swings due to the autoimmune reaction caused by his body trying to fight off a strep infection. At this time, and later, his Strep titers will test really high. We learned this in December/January when we were still taking an illegal supplement which contained Strep, and transitioning into SCD - as soon as we reomved the supplement, within about 24 hours, he regulated back down to his own " normal " . So, for that reason, his doc suggesed no more Strep bacterium in anything, and now we only take the legal SCD supplements anyway. So, I'm trying to find an apropriate dairy-free starter that does not contain Strep or Bifidus to make a pseudo nut-milk yogurt. They love the nut milk lately I've been making it with soaked, blanched slivered almonds instead of the TJ's flour, and it is really thick and creamy. I know the probio will probably alter everything, but it's worth a try. My boys can't have casein yet either. If you have any ideas for a SCD legal, Strep free pro bio culture like please let me know!
