Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I remember reading in the past that Culturelle is illegal. Is that because of the inulin, or is the lactobaccillus GG species itself an illegal? Is there a lactobaccillus GG that is not grown on inulin, with SCD legal ingredients? I may be dealing with a c.difficile infection, and I have read that lactobaccillus GG might be an effective treatment. I am picking up sacchromysas boullardii today, and will start that. Although I've read that sacchromysas has been tested to be effective in conjunction with Vancomycin, but did not have an effect alone. Has anyone had success with just sachromysas alone? I won't get my c.difficile result back until Monday, but figured the probiotics would be a good start, and may help control the diarrhea that was caused by the IV antibiotic I took 4 weeks ago; if I don't have c.difficile, hopefully it can help me return to normal. I am already taking a larger than usual amount of the Lyosan acidopholus, on the intro diet (day 4) and eating lots of yogurt, but so far, things are only worsening. In my reading, these other strains are more effective than what's in the Lyosan or the yogurt. Thanks, Debora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inulin is an illegal polysaccharide, that can feed harmful microbes. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/inulin.htm Elaine only recommended L. acidophilus as a probiotic. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/probiotics.ht m Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Our son was taking S.Boulardii and was SCD for about 4 months. We had a stool and organix test at the start and one again recently. The organix showed the C. Diff to be worse. However, we made great progress with yeast* and saw visible improvements as soon as he started SCD. He has just completed a course of antibiotics for the C.Diff. About the yeast - if you are taking Boulardii a stool test will pick up yeast. Ours did - but the organix showed a huge improvement. The inability to distinguish between the yeast types (S.Boulardii and S. Cerevisae) is mentioned in " Autism: Effective Biomedical Treatments " from ARI (it's page 80 of the new edition).
