Re: Re: Trying to decide... probiotics or no probiotics

I think I remember reading in BTVC that when Drs Haas had Elaine use the

yogurt with her dd that l.acidophilus was not in the yogurt and had to be

added separately.

Carey..... I'm copying here a post that I save from Elaine:

Dr. Haas's instructions were to make the yogurt and to use a probiotic.

This is what we have been doing with SCD for years.

When I became active on the autism list I almost lost my mind!

There was input from EVERYBODY about casein and goat yogurt and cow yogurt

and on and on. I surely do not want this to start all over again so I have

tried to go along with the mindsets on this list because autism is fairly

new to me.

I have never seen a group of patients who have had more theories inflicted

upon them and do I know if they are all relevant? No I do not.

But if you want to know what I intended, you can reread page 15, 3rd

paragraph, you can see that I do not know (nor does anyone else) exactly

what the yogurt is accomplishing except that it gives the diet an excellent

source of nutrition and diversity and, hopefully, will help alter the type

of bacteria and their metabolic actions.

Are we seeing progress without yogurt? It seems that we are so it is

possible to follow SCD without it. However, there is still a need in the

process for some (not lots) of healthy type of bacteria like Lactobacillus

acidophilus to be given a chance to take up residence. And again, they

usually should have a source of lactose and most probiotics containing

Lactobacillus acidophilus due have tiny amounts. But here we go again with

parents scared out of their mind about casein!!!!!>>
