I don't get it
I eat yogurt, but obviously wasn't getting enough to resolve my problem. Got thinking after I saw the post Idlehunters had about her missing enzymes. Once again I have learned more from this board that I do from the doc's.

its also obvious to me that we need the best health advice we can obtain.
and its clear doctors don't have all the answers and its negligent for them to pretend they do.
our bodies,
our health,
our responsibility.

Hi Jennie, I just wanted to send you a quick 'Thanks!' for the pro-biotic suggestion. I've had a "runny stomach" too for the past four days (and while on vacation too - ugh), and was about to send Rick out for Imodium, when I saw this post. Rick asked the pharmacist about the pro-biotics, and he too recommended that I try them before using the Imodium since that can cause additional problems. The pro-biotics will now become part of my daily vitamin regime. And since I'm also lactose intolerant, they should help me feel better overall. :-) Thank you!!! Luv, Cynthia :-)0 -

I have used this since Dx and surgery - has not failed me, never had any diarrhea and no mouth sores.
Got it mailed to me from Australia - culture it at home with milk - it's great to use although a little bit more sour than the store bought stuff. The store bought stuff is not as full a culture either as it is massed produced and sometimes even pasteurized, homegrown is cheaper too.

Hey Pete, yes I find you posts very informative too!!! Have a question for ya'....have you done any research on Neem Tea??? I have used Neem powder on a cat for fleas, worked wonders....tried it because he had horrible allergic reaction to med. flea product. Horrible to pat him though as the stuff is very bitter, suppose that's why fleas retreat, and it has a hormal effect on the fleas too so they can't breed. Anyhow, just wondered if you have any knowledge on Neem tea as you seem to do a lot of research on alternatives.0 -

Your posts regarding probiotics referred to them as "blowing up the bag". As a fellow (though permanent) ostomite, would you mind explaining what you meant by that?0
