Hi Angie,

Are you doing the SCD goat yogurt? That is a fantastic way to reduce the gut

microorganisms! Most children with ASD can tolerate the yogurt if you start

with 1/8 of a teaspoon. I am busy right now but will soon post other

suggestions for you in another email. The post will be called SCD Tips.
