Fermented foods vs. probiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Am I to understand correctly that a couple of you are following either GAPS

or SCD protocol without supplementing a probiotic? I am working with a mom

who can barely pay her rent, let alone buy a supplemental probiotic. I was

thinking of suggesting that she use sauerkraut juice instead, since cabbage

is fairly inexpensive. If you have been following the diet changes using

fermented veggies and drinks without using a probiotic, do you still notice

marked changes in yourself or your child? How do your children handle the

sour taste, or do you mask it in homemade juice?

Please feel free to email me off-list at jschmid2007@... if you

would prefer, although I'd think that many people would be interested in

this, since high-quality probiotics are so expensive!

Peace,
