I was told to also check out www.natren.com <http://www.natren.com/> , which
looks very interesting as well.
 
Judy found something on www.celiac.com <http://www.celiac.com/>  regarding
VSL#3 where Jason was responded to by Ferring ?marketer? in England.
Ferring advises VSL#3 has 11ppm (parts per million) of gluten.  This is
classified as a trace amount.  My comment - keep in mind folks that European
standard is less than 200ppm.  Ferring also states some dairy ingredients
are used in the culture medium but are removed during fermentation and
concentration.  Ferring also states VSL#3 is not defined as dairy free but
as a non-dairy product.  They advise one to start on a very low dose to see
how one responds before increasing the amount.
 
The USA version, or flavored (lemon), or the UK version (but I think this
stuff is manufactured in Australia) is plain, having no flavor added.  This
is evidently shipped freeze dried and one keeps it refrigerated.  I believe
Natren's product needs to be refrigerated as well.
 
You can check out VSL#3 in detail simply by going on the internet, switch to
google.com and type in the words" VSL #3 probiotics" without the quotes.
 
No, I have not tried either of the above.  I did take probiotics (Country
Life brand which needed to be refrigerated) for 2 years when first
diagnosed, and then stopped.  I intend on starting again in some form again
shortly, as I am becoming even intolerant to butter now, and suspect I am
back to having some form of overgrowth again, whether bacterial or fungal
(candida).
 
I would be interested in those of you that know which foods reduce candida
specifically in the body.  I believe I have heard eating large amounts of
broccoli every day helps greatly.  Please give me some other remedy LOL I
hate the stuff, and this is from an Italian fresh vege and fruit fanatic.
 
Thanks again, Dorina, near Galveston, TX
