As I'm sure everyone knows, the herbs taste AWUFUL!!!! Does anyone have any advice for taking them in a different way or making the taste better. I am currently taking 1 goldenseal, 1megadophilus, 1 omega & 5 drops of oil of Oregeno in water 3x a day. I would love to hear if anyone has any tricks up their sleeve:)))))

Ah, yes! I remember that
Ah, yes! I remember that beginning combination well;) I referred to it as "my cricket wing" concoction- that's what I thought it tasted like. I just toughed it out..... kind of like a shot in college....lol. I wish I had a magic suggestion, but I do sympathize.
By the way... Welcome to the forum!

I transfer my probiotics, and
I transfer my probiotics, and any herb that needs to be taken in water into gel capsules. I prepare myself a week supply on the weekends, so when it's time to take my protocol I don't have to worry about taking them in water I just take them in gel capsules..... Oh and when I was taking the oil of oregano... I added the drops to one of my capsules right before I took it.
Gel Caps
Where you get the gel Caps??? That sounds sooo much easier.
Katie, how long where you on that herb protocol? I guess I can get used to it. I would justbe nice lfor something with all of this to be easy:)))))

You can get the gel capsules
You can get the gel capsules at whole foods or online. I buy mine on amazon, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R3JJ8W/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Those gel caps are amazing!
Those gel caps are amazing! I just started using them after 3 years in treatment, what a lifesaver!
Sam and Calieve-Gel Caps!!!!
Sam and Calieve-Gel Caps!!!! AHHHHH! Where were you when I needed you?....lol!
Sam- I was thinking of you because I have been traveling a bit and wow! it is very difficult to stick to this treatment while in airports and frankly... something about airplanes just messes with me. I don't know how you do it;) Anyway, it made me think of you and what your day must be like preparing food and trying to get it on the plane with you.
Amy- I was on that protocol maybe three weeks before Dr.B started switching things up on me;) I really switch protocols quite often. I am not sure if that is common or that is because I have been a "unique;)" case. I have never been on one protocol very long.
By the way... your profile picture is adorable! Is that your little girl? How old is she?

Protocol change
Katie, Dr.B just changed my protocol today after only a week so not sure what that means.
That is an old picture of my daughter... she is 6 now but I have a 14 month old who keeps me too busy & a 9 year old...so struggling to take care of myself & my family.
I did order the empty capsules...excited not to gag every time I take the herbs. It actually makes me laugh because I can't believe i have to drink something so awful!!!

Katie-yes it's tough indeed
Katie-yes it's tough indeed but I love my job and can't imagine doing anything else. Some days I do wonder though how much it is hampering my efforts to get well. When you say flying messes with you, can you be more specific? I have always had constipation issues and that issue still plagues me in treatment and I know my traveling does not help that. I do not feel particularly worse (burning wise) at work and my sleep is actually slightly better when traveling. The hardest thing is being so limited with food and drink options. I spend $15-20/ day on spring water at airports which drives me insane. Spring water is getting tougher to come by too. Nestlé (not spring) just bought out Deer Park and Evian and Fiji are a little problematic for me but sometimes my only option. Frustrating.
Best wishes.
gel caps allowed?
Hmm, interesting... are the gel caps allowed? I thought the reason we took them out and stirred them in water was to AVOID the caps?
