where I read the reasearch on probiotics and CDiff right now it is not

F,

First, thanks so much for being such an important part of this gfcfkids list.

I've learned a tremendous amount from you (and from so many others on this

list as well). You put in so much time and effort on your responses, and I

just wanted you to know someone really appreciates it!

I had sent the e-mail above out several weeks ago. Just wondered if you'd

remembered where you'd heard or read that probiotics could cause an

overgrowth of C. difficile. Probiotics (Pro-Culture Gold) are what my doctor

is using to treat the overgrowth, and the level is dropping, but oh, so

slowly.

Thanks so much,

Debbie
