Re: Legal strains of probiotcis

[Guest guest]

Hi Patti,

At the moment I am just trying to get ready to start yoghurt.

Can anybody assist me with details of suppliers/manufacturers of yoghurt

starter culture in South Africa.

I also would like to know about all the legal probiotic strains allowed on SCD.

Is there a website I can go on perhaps.

The goat farm that I would have approached for the goat yoghurt has been sold

and I can't seem to get hold of the new owners, to certify the yoghurt only

contains milk, or milk solids and cultures.

I'm left with cows milk yoghurt by Weleda which says on the label ingredients:

Milk, starter culture. But sebastian was very allergic on his tests.

Is it possible to start yoghurt with any starter culture?

I see on the GI Pro Health website the yoghurt starter strains are

Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus casei.

Can you only start yoghurt with these three strains??

At the moment I'm looking for a manufacturer but can't seem to locate

anyone.....

Any help or advice please!!!

Thank you

Tina

Re: vitamin supplement

Adult formulas of any supplement or over the counter medicine are figured

according to a 150 lb adult. Just compare your child's weight to that and adjust

the quantity/dose accordingly. My own daughter conveniently weighs 76 lbs, which

makes it quite easy.

As you can imagine, not every adult weighs exactly 150 lbs, so you don't have

to be extremely precise. Just approximate.

Tina,

The only officially SCD legal probiotic strains are l.acidophilus and

s.boulardii.

You would just need to find a product (any brand) that had only l.acidophilus

(or a combo of that and s.boulardii.... which I doubt you'd find together)....

that had zero illegals. Just read the label and make sure no illegal additives

are included, especially under " other ingredients " .

The list of legal/illegal supplement additives is at www.pecanbread.com under

" Supplements " .

I know some online stores that sell supplements, including probiotics, do ship

internationally. www.iherb.com is one.

I don't know for sure about Kirkman Labs or GI ProHealth.

Hi Patti,

I have been able to locate a manufacturer of probiotic strains. Is there

anything I need to watch out for. Would there be anything illegal they could add

to the culture.

Patti you directed me to the GI Pro Health website amongst others to read about

legal probiotic strains.

According to SCD only L. Acidophilus and S. Boulardii are legal.

What about the probiotic strains contained in the GI Pro Health Yoghurt starter.

There are three listed. L Bulgaricus, Stretococcus Thermophilus, and L. Casei

are these three also legal???

I finally spoke to the farmer of the goats yoghurt this morning. Is it necessary

to find out which strains of bacteria he uses as a starter for his yoghurt.

Dear Patti,

I have just remebered that sebastian used to take a " live " probiotic . It was a

liquid. It is made here in S. Africa and has the following strains:

L acidophilus

L. Brevis

L.Paracasei

L. Plantarum

L. Rhamnosus

I just spoke to the company who distributes it and a lady there told me she

knows of a dietitian who makes yoghurt with this.

Are these strains legal??

Thanks

Tina

As I said yesterday, you just need to compare all the ingredients.... anything

they add.... fillers, etc...... to the list on pecanbread.com under

" Supplements " . It's the list of legal/illegal supplement additives that you

want to copy and compare to the label.

<<According to SCD only L. Acidophilus and S. Boulardii are legal.

Those three are legal IN STARTER ONLY. l.bulgaricus and s.thermophilus are

strains that simply do the job of fermentation. They are present in pretty much

all yogurt starter. I am not as familiar with the role l.casei plays..... but I

just know that we are only able to use that strain in a starter... not in a

supplement.

<<I finally spoke to the farmer of the goats yoghurt this morning. Is it

YES, it is necessary. l.acidophilus, s.thermophilus, l.bulgaricus and l.casei

are allowed .... any other strains would make this illegal.

And, you are only going to use this yogurt as a STARTER.... right? I assume

so.... just wanted to be sure.

Tina,

I'm sorry.... no they're not. The only one that is legal in this mixture is the

l.acidophilus.
