Scott, AMy that distributes here in the US said i could make progurt with the sachets she sells using a yogourmet maker, what do you think of this idea?

I would not. The Progurt maker is very specific in terms of the temperature. If they are not exactly the same, you would be wasting your money in my opinion.

LP, you might ask the manager of a large local grocery store if they could order it for you. Or ask at Whole Foods if they don't have it on the shelf. I've done that in the past here with some items the store doesn't normally carry. They never charged me shipping.

I'm in Lyme remission and my mind seems to be working better. I'm doing the math (hopefully it's accurate).
I read that 1 sachet of Progurt costs $20.
1 sachet of Progurt makes 1 litre, that is 4.2 cups.
1 litre is equal to 1,000 ml. The Progurt website adult recommendation is 150-300 ml per day.
Scott, to spend $600 in one month means you ate one litre of Progurt per day. Right? $600 is way expensive for us, especially since my husband (gwb--is still suffering terribly with Lyme). Obviously we would both take it.
Now that you've been on it a while-do you have any suggestions on a starting amount that would be effective but more cost affordable?

I started off with about 1/2 to 1 liter per day for the first week then down to 1/4 liter a day after that. It is not inexpensive, but some have had good results with it.

Daisy, if you can't/don't want to do Progurt, you might try fermented foods for similar results. I've been making kefir, sauerkraut, and kombucha (but all can be purchased at the store, just be sure it's raw sauerkraut). It's really helped my gut tremendously.
I don't have the comparison to Progurt because it was too pricey for me, but the fermented foods have been good. I always was interested in the Progurt .... just didn't spend the $. Seems those who did like it.
