Hi Ladies,

  Do any of you have your children on probiotics? I am thinking of starting my 8 year old on a daily probiotic and I am wondering.... do you give them Natren? or another brand? How much?

 Thanks, Katie

Ok. I have been doing pretty well physically and mentally but I had a mini meltdown last night. There are multiple stress factors- the baby's really sick, I have PMS, oh and I have IC! LOL anyway- Dr B tried to add a tiny amount of bifido again and I flared in a miserable way. I was so upset because it feels like we can't add things without reaction. Here's my issue- i wish I had a clue as to what each addition or change means-YKWIM? I know I get into mental trouble when I start catastrophising about what I "think" it means. I know this is part of my control issues and I am working on it.

Hi,

I am going to post a recipe that "aberger" shared with me. I love these so much, they are so easy to make. They are also so filling and delicious, perfect with breakfast or added to any meal.

         One of my favorite IC companions (ha!) is the frequent cold sores that I now get.  I had a couple in 2002 but now I have the good fortune of getting them about every other month.  They try to come on more frequently than that but I put liquid goldenseal on them and it seems to qwell them if I get to it early enough. 

At any point are we able to eat seeds?  I've been looking for something to put in my yogurt or to have as a snack whilst working, would a handful of seeds do any harm?  Can't see any information at all on the diet recommendation..

I was hoping someone who has healed or has noticed significant improvement could tell me what the stages of healing were for them? When did they notice symptoms fading away, if they did? What symptoms left first? What did the process of healing look like? How long did it take.

Hi Ladies,

  Following my gluten-free ways, I stumbled across Amaranth as an alternative Bob's Mill Breakfast cereal. Are we allowed to have Amaranth?

Also.... totally unrelated questions...

Hi all-

Hitting up Boston this weekend, and I wanted to know if any of you have any recs for possible clean restaurants.

Thanks!

Dear all,
