I am a mother of four and our oldest has profound cerebral palsy. At about 4 years old he required a g-tube as he could not swallow his food without it going to his lungs. He has been on formula since then but just in the past 5 years our family started on cultured foods. We did not know at first how to give him cultured foods without clogging his g-tube. But when we found out his new formula contained inulin, we knew that was a prebiotic and started giving him kefir WHEY. The whey is thinner than even the g-tube formula and still has probiotics in it that feed on the inulin. The kefir whey also helps with his g.i. tract as he has had constipation from being immobile. We give him kombucha which helps with detoxing. We also have given him the liquid in our cultured garlic (strained of anything that would clog the tube-just liquid) whenever there is a VIRUS or cold etc. He has NOT been sick with a virus in a very long time! When Covid started we were concerned because he was high risk. We have not seen any sign of Covid-19. We still use common sense and wash hands etc. of course, but the trilogy has helped him thrive~ 🙂
Insulated Packaging & Ice Packs
If it's hot in your area (between 90°-100° F), we recommend having your order shipped with insulated packaging and ice packs.
Here are a few things you should know:
- This will help your cultures stay cool for up to the first 72 hours of travel
- The package usually won't arrive cold
- This is ok, we just don't want your cultures to get too hot along the way (over 100°F)
- If it's hotter than 100° in your area, we recommend not ordering until it cools down.
- You'll still need to be home when the package arrives so you can bring it inside right away
- This shipping add-on doesn't count toward the $99 needed for free shipping
- We recommend selecting UPS Next Day Air or UPS 2nd Day Air for shipping.
