Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Ellen, Shipping on probiotics is high during the summer because they have to be kept cold in order to keep them alive. So, summer shipments have to be sent in styrofoam with ice packs. Unfortunately, that is pretty expensive. As for other brands, are you wanting to use dairy free probiotics or does that matter?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Check with Lucy's.... www.lucyskitchenshop.com Patti acidophilus brands? What exactly is one to look for in acidophilus brands? I am unable to locate the SCDophilus from GI Prohealth anywhere but on their website, and the shipping is prohibitively expensive. Are there any commonly-found brands that are acceptable? Thank you!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Dairy is fine. I just really need to find a legal acidophilus that I can buy locally. I have asked my favorite health food store to order any of the three listed on Pecanbread, and they said they can't get any of them cheaper than just me ordering myself. Thanks for the help, Jody/anyone else! Ellen 8.5 year old dd dx'ed w.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Klaire labs has an SCD acidophilus. call your doctor and he/she can give you a patient number so that you can order it online from home. it is pretty good, i use it for my baby and myself. -- , mom to Fiol 19 mo, all family on SCD 1/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 If dairy is fine, what about Lysan? Can you get it locally? Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I just got iFlora Acidophilus Formula from a Lyme doctor, which is she assured me is SCD-compliant and she thinks it's the best probiotic. (I'm taking it because I'm on antibiotics for Lyme.) It's from sedonalabs.com but you have to buy it from a reseller. I notice it's $22.46 for 60 capsules from http://www.affordable-natural-supplements.com/sedona_labs.html whereas I paid $25 for it at the doctor's office (but there was no tax or shipping added to that). mother of Adam At 11:42 PM 7/18/2006, you wrote: >Dairy is fine.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Oh dear. Thank you for pointing that out. I will still take it since it has been specifically prescribed by my doctor to replace all bacteria being wiped out by the antibiotic, but will henceforth not recommend it to anyone on the SCD diet. mother of Adam (PDD-NOS, asthma, egg allergy, SCD beginner) At 12:41 PM 7/20/2006, you wrote: >Hi , > >Sorry but this probiotic is SCD illegal.

I looked on the Sedona Labs web site and all of the probiotic products they had contained Bifidus (Bifido) -- which is not legal. I'm sure your doctor made an honest mistake, or perhaps she isn't yet as familiar with SCD as she will be with you to help her along! -- Marilyn (New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) Undiagnosed IBS 25 Years, SCD Five Years Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised and disappointed because she didn't ask what the diet was--she seemed to know. Since the Lyme diet avoids a lot of the same sugars as SCD, perhaps she is thinking they are the same diet and differences are unimportant. But anyway, since I'm doing SCD primarily for my ASD son it is not crucial for me to follow SCD strictly. The main issue for me is Lyme so I will take what is prescribed for Lyme even if it conflicts with SCD. If it were for my son, I would switch to a SCD-legal probiotic.
