You find a yogurt or a starter and you make your own SCD goat yogurt.

There is no commercial yogurt which is SCD-legal.

My probiotic has the following

bacteria strains in it;

-Lactobacillus Acidophilus (NCFM) organisms - 7.5 Billion/15Billion

serving

-Bifidobacterium Lactis (Bi-07) organisms - 7.5 Billion/15Billion

serving

-180mg Oligofructose

I am praying these are all legal/ok??

Nope, not legal. The oligo fructose isn't good, and any strain of bifidus

or bifido bacteria is illegal. THe only legal strains are s.

thermophilus, l. bulgaricus, and l. acidophilus and/or l. casei in our

yogurt. L. acidophilus and s. boulardii may be used as a supplement.

Oh wow, I feel really silly and really disappointed, yet happy that I now have

learned something else about the SCD!

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!

Thank you lin,

Fiona =)
