Re: need legal anti-bacterial supplement equal to lactobacillus rhamnosus

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this is SCD legal, but Custom Probiotics makes a

line of very high-potency probiotic powders that contain ONLY the

probiotics - no disaccharide or polysaccharide fillers. You can buy

single strains, and they probably have this strain.

My son is medically unable to take any lactobacillus acidophilus

cultures due to a d-lactate condition, and his stool tests show he

lacks a good flora base in his gut. Our nutritionist has just

recommended the Custom Probiotics line (they have a specific D-

lactate formulation especially fo ASD kids).

on SCD and that SCDophilus is the only legal one. But will it treat

the specific bacterial overgrowth as needed? Since the lab said to

use the lact-rham., I am concerned that SCDophilus may not treat

this particular problem.

Hi Lynn,

Lactobacillus acidophilus is the only legal bacteria Elaine rec'd in a

probiotic. SCDophilus is a legal brand of probiotic.

L. rhamnosus can be found naturally in homemade sauerkraut. Using some

sauerkraut (even just the juice) and a legal probiotic may help.

Any suggestions?
