yogurt vs. probiotic in a pill?

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry; I'm not clear on why the yogurt is so important if we can give

the SCD legal acidophilus in a capsule. We are 6 weeks into the diet,

mainly still using level 1 and some level 2 foods. I can't gauge progress

by stools because he never had any gut symptoms anyway. Initially his

behavior improved dramatically but he was also on Diflucan at the time we

started the diet. When the Diflucan course ended, he also happened to cheat

badly on the diet, so we had what I assumed was a RAGING yeast recurrence

(as evidenced by a RAGING boy). I went back to the intro diet for most of a

week, then on to where we are now (level 1-2) and he is better but not back

to the sweet boy I had for those few fleeting days. But I think we've been

doing this long enough now that he needs some good gut bugs, but I'm not

ready to tackle the yogurt yet for a number of reasons. I ordered the

Kirkman's SCD legal acidophilus. Is that just as good as the yogurt??

Thanks,
