-- re SCD and probiotics.

Yes, the SCD purists say that l. acidophilus is the only probiotic you can safely take. There is a lot of controversy among the SCD experts on this. Many of us want to take a multi-strain probiotic. Kirkman's now has a multi strain probiotic WITHOUT INULIN that is noted as acceptable with SCD. I have had good luck with this one.

Yes, Kirkman and Klaire Labs have probiotics that work well with food. Most retail brands probably do best on an empty stomach, since they may not have the coating to prevent the stomach acid from destroying the good bugs. So, your nutritionist was correct there.

Give Kirkman's a try. Good Luck --
