Matia has tried to move me forward with probiotics a couple of times now, but the changes or increases have shot my urgency right up.  

Do others have experience with this?  I'm feeling a bit nervous that it means that it's going to keep me at a standstill with my healing, especially in tapering the urgency feeling.

I was taking bifo and mega, then the mega was taken out and I couldn't tolerate just the bifo along with the (4 ) Rehmanniae Peonniae.  So now I'm back down to 2 RP and just one mega. Urgency is not as strong.

Do any of you ever get pretty intense sensations in your chest, like a cross between a chest cold feeling and heart palpitations? i know that is a terrible description, but it's so hard to explain. if you've ever lived by the ocean, you might know a sensation called "sea cough" (not really a cough) - well it feels like that sort of when you breath in. Was having it SUPER strong today - very strange feeling because it doesn't develop into a cough or a cold or anything. it just kind of sits there in my chest.

This weekend, i was at a wedding and ended up eating a few bites of potatoes au gratin (not sure what kind of cheese it was made with) and a few bites of salad which had a VERY light coating of vinaigrette. Anyway, this is the first time in almost 6 months that i've ever technically "cheated" on the diet. I'm still somewhere between List 1/2 - but haven't added cheese back in yet. Anyway, nothing happened (yay!). BUT, this lead me to think about the diet itself and I have a question...

Has anyone ever had a reaction or die off show up as bloodshot and/or red eyes? My eyes have been red, especially around the color part for about 4 days now and I'm beginning to wonder if I should worry that it's something else maybe related to my wearing contacts. I don't have any fluid coming out, so it doesn't seem like conjuntivitis. My eyes have never been red like this and as a mom with 2 month old baby and toddler I'm tired, but not THAT tired!

  I just read on the ICA site

  I couldn't find the names of the specific herbs on the site.  Please share your experiences of finding pain relief by taking Matia's formulas.  Thanks.

i was wondering how everyone elses flares are. do any of you go from barley any burning at all to alot when eating or doing something u shouldnt? or do most of u already have maybe a level 5 all the time and it goes up when flaring?i know  everyone is different i was just curious how everyone fluctuatues during treatment. im also having a hard time telling if food bothers me b/c i never feel anything untill 6 hours it seems like and thats usually in the evning when i feel worse anyways.

Who else is taking the 'Rehmanniae Peonniae' formula? I want to pass on the tip that if u open the capsule and put some of the powder on yr tongue it tastes delicious! Being on List 1 and moving very slowly to List 2 I am in need of delicious tastes. It tastes a bit like dark chocolate without the sugaryness - it's got the same velvety bitterness. Yum!

Hi all: I.m thinking this is a symptom of die-off, but would sure like to know if I am alone with this. I was beginning to relax with the awareness that new energy was here, feeling not too bad, and beginning some postponed chores. Wham, I began to get very very cold (coldness has been one of my symptoms off and on, but not as severe as this). It is almost painful sometimes and no relief even with wearing a jacket, wool socks and blanket in the house. My hands are very cold ,...husband jumps when I touch him so not imagination.  I cannot bear an open window or door.

Hi,
 
   I was going to order a few BoMA Sense products this morning.  Can I also pick them up at Matia's office or can they only be ordered online?  Also, are all of the BomaHerbs available at her office?  With high shipping prices, I am trying  to figure out the most afforable way to change my personal care products.  Thanks!
