Anhydrous

dicalcium phosphate is usually used as a tableting agent, or included in

dietary supplements.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicalcium_phosphate

I

would expect that most people will tolerate a supplement containing anhydrous

dicalcium phosphate, but some will not.

But

there are some other ingredients in the probiotic you are checking that make it

risky -- the “milk derivative” and the cellulose gum. If you

are sensitive to dairy and casein, than this supplement is not for you, and the

gum makes it problematic for our digestions.

I

suggest not using this probiotic, and choose to mail-order from one of the

SCD-legal sources. GIProHealth, Kirkman Labs, Lucy’s Kitchen Shop,

Custom Probiotics, all offer a SCD-legal L. Acidophilus supplement. There

is a list of sources with links in the group Files.

As

for the probiotic;

I am unsure of the Anhydrous Dicalcium Phosphate

Maybe Marilyn or Kim M can answer this one?

Thanks Kim. Money is tight, so I was looking at things that were cheapest, but

realize now I need to stick with what we know works.
