So, to enlighten me further,

what is the result of taking these probiotics that are illegal? What is

actually happening at the bacterial level in my gut??

Perhaps it explains my feeling of plateuing, and even going backwards,

these past couple of weeks.

Can I have kefir?? Gosh I hope so... i just prepared a whole batch! And

it tastes great!

So, what you were saying in your latest email... do you mean the only

bacteria strains to have in supplements are L. acidophilus and

> s. boulardii may be used as a supplement?? Right??

The other strains are to be in yogurt!?

More research on the way for this Aussie chick by the looks of

it!

When we are changing out gut ecology, as with SCD, there's a possibility

of even good bacteria over-growing. Bifidus or bifido bacteria are one of

the most likely to do this. The ones recommended are not likely to do

so.

Kefir is generally considered an advanced food, to be used when

significant healing has taken place. It may taste great, but it may also

be too advanced for you. One of the most common things we see is people

adding stuff too quickly to their diets and then saying that SCD doesn't

work. Or using foods which are too advanced.

Yes, in supplements, the only legal probiotics are s. boulardii and l.

acidophilus.

Yes, the other strains are to be in our SCD yogurt.

Research is on-going... I'm still doing it myself.
