Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Probiotics - Of course I had already thrown away the box, but I called where I get mine and they told me the web is essentialformulas.com, phone number is 972-255-3918 and finally, the store I get it (Vital Nutrition)is at 1-800-875-8658.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 My son takes 1 wafer of Nature's Bounty Chewable Acidophilus with Bifidus. Each wafer has 50 mg. acidophilus & 50 mg. bifidus, and one billion microorganisms per wafer. It is cheap (around $6-$7 per 100 wafers--100-day supply for my son), and is (reading the bottle label): " guaranteed free of: yeast, wheat, gluten, milk or milk derivatives, lactose, preservatives, soy, artificial flavor, sodium (less than 5 mg. per serving). " It is flavored with natural strawberry flavoring, and you can purchase it at WebRx or most Walgreen's stores. I love their other products too. I like the company--affordable, but still high quality.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Here is a link to a page that expl;ains probiotics. I know they are particularly helpful for people with IBS and other intestinal problems. http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/probiotics.htm mary For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 The only problem with paradophilus (which I also use) is that it is really expensive! I don't know if the effectiveness is worth the expense. The SCD Probiotica is just as effective and much cheaper. Just my experience. S -- [ ] Re: New here - would like confimation I'm doing this correctly Just because, I choose Dr. Ohar's It is raised and shipped alive at room temp. with it's own food supply. that way it is more apt to survive and be absorbed. I have had good success with it. I have also used Natren, which must be refridgerated, it is good too. Jim H. says that if you run into problems with your gut while on MMS you should try Paradopholis to restore the gut.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 But is the SCD the same as paradophilus? Seems that I recall that the para is what probiotics are made from, not a probiotic itself. I know people have gotten a "rush" when first starting para, but then it wears off after just a few portions--but they are assuming that it is still working. You don't find this to be true?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 No, that did not happen to me. The only way to tell is to try the different brands and see what works best for you and your husband. I just think the para is too expensive and most people cannot afford it. They need to know there are other more reasonable alternatives that work just as well. S -- Re: [ ] probiotics But is the SCD the same as paradophilus?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Its called SCD probiotica. It is made from a bunch of cultured vegetable and fruit products concentrated. It tastes like vinegar, kind of. If you want more info just google it.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Absolutely--you are right. I'm always looking at alternative things for expensive products--because normally there is something that will work, if not as good, then pretty close. However, there are a few cases when the expensive thing IS the only product that does what it says it does--for certain people. It takes experimentation, that's for sure. And sometimes (many times) we cannot experiment because of the costs. Samala, -------Original Message------- No, that did not happen to me. The only way to tell is to try the different brands and see what works best for you and your husband. I just think the para is too expensive and most people cannot afford it.
