Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Marilyn, Thank you. This is collaborative " thinking outside the box " + common sense and logical mental deduction which I do appreciate! I will go to the mat for you if you get blasted. I do realize, and I hope others who read this as well, understand that it is an " off the books " application that MAY work. I certainly understand it I will continue my search for an appropriate probiotic with out strep strain, and with my luck, by the time I find it, they will have healed enough so that we get the go-ahead from the doctor to try traditional BTVC goats milk yogurt. Again, kind, kind thanks for your help.
