Newbie - question about THREELAC supplement

[Guest guest]

HI all

I haven't posted before. I would like to say how grateful I am for these daily,

regular emails as it is a wonderful lifeline during a very challenging time! We

just started SCD in June 07 and my daughter Sienna went through a hideous

die-off period for two months. At least I know SCD was working because her

reaction was so intense and dramatic! She has made great improvements in

speech and imaginative play in Aug and Sept which I put down to her gut healing

and SCD so we are delighted. We have a long way to go of course and she's still

on a very very restricted Stage 1 diet but we're going slowly, slowly to get it

right for her.

Now, my question today is about THREELAC, the supplement raved about by

McCarthy. I took this info about it from Kirkman's website but I assume this

supplement is illegal for SCD??? Because of the lemon flavoring??? Is that

right?

What is unique about THREELAC

THREELAC is a blend of one lactic acid bacteria and two soil based bacteria

which reduce fungal and yeast organisms. The powder is microencapsulated

(enteric coated) which delivers the organisms live into the intestine in large

numbers. The main strain of the bacteria is Enterococcus faecalis which supports

the other two strains, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagularis in the Candida

and fungal fighting properties. THREELAC has been sold in Japan since 1992

and has been imported to the US since 2004. It is now sold all over the world

with remarkable results for many.

What other ingredients are present in THREELAC?

THREELAC is dairy (casein 12 ppm), wheat, corn, soy and gluten free. Since

the three strains present in THREELAC feed on yeast, a small amount of

refined brewers yeast is present to keep the bacteria alive. The product also

contains FOS, galactomannan (a fiber source), lemon juice powder, and canola

oil. Small amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B-6, thiamine and riboflavin are also

present because they are inherent in the brewers yeast.

Best wishes,

Simone

This supplement is scd illegal because we were taking

it before we started and I checked into it and the

fructo-oligosacharides are illegal. I was kinda

bummed out but we stopped it because from what I have

read this is a definite no-no.

The enteric coating and some of the other ingredients are also illegal.

Hi there...I'm new to this site. and new to fighting yeast. so new that I

haven't actually started yet But, I have also researched ThreeLac. It

sounds great, but I did come across some info that has deterred me from trying

it.

When examining different reviews and opinions of ThreeLac, I came across this

one, ThreeLac Review, The Clinically Proven Yeast Eating Probiotic, Or Not?

At the bottom, the reviewer discusses that one of the strains of bacteria used

in the supplement, Enterococcus faecalis, can develop antibiotic resistance. He

states that it has been banned in Australia and that the New England Journal of

Medicine describes E. faecalis as " one of the most troubling hospital

pathogens " .

I have no idea if this info is true or not, but I had decided to put ThreeLac on

the back-burner until I could talk to my son's DAN! doctor about it.

Like I said, I'm not expert, but I just wanted you to have that info, too!

Best of Luck!
