Which Natren probiotics do you use?  I can get them here in Canada but their are a few types.  Can you tell me which one Matia prefers newbies to use.

Thanks,

Kim

I turned the page on my calendar today and thought the poem for March was one that fits to well with the journey that we are all making to reach recovery.  The calendar is all about postive thinking and oh how we need all the help we can get to keep up our positive thinking!  So please read the poem below called a 'Daily Pep Talk' and I hope you find it as helpful as I have to read over and over....

Hello everyone,

I am a patient of Matia since March 2010. I do not have IC but all the health situation/symptoms that I have are very similar to IC beside having bad bladder problems.

Since I have started to treatment, I kind of have emotional stuff going on, deeply. Sometimes, I can not believe how emotional I am and I end up acting weird. I noticed i feel more emotional when I am on SF722 but generally feel deeper than before after treatment. I am not sure if this is about die off or sth else. I wonder if its very common among everyone. and how you deal with that?

Hi everyone,

I am needing some real deeeep support right now.  I have been struggggggling for so long...haven't had a period for almost a year.......severe gastro issues....alll my issues are in my intestines and my chest.  Rotating between severe sticky bloaty inflammmmation pain...to pin pricks shooooting throughout my body.

Bloating is out of control....we have not been able to relieve any of my symptoms for months  and months.....

My diet has been green mushy veggies and protein only...forever...so I know it's not diet....

So... I am sure that many of you have experienced "emotional die off" as well as physical die off with this whole process.  I would like to suggest two wonderful articles that I found in the May 2010 Yoga Journal Magazine: "Love In Full Bloom" on page 55 and "Journey to The Light" on page 72.  Both are excellent reads and I will probably frame this magazine and keep by my bed.  I have read and re-read these articles at least 5 times since picking the magazine up at Whole Foods a week ago.  You will NOT be disappointed!

This morning I found an article about a man living in my area who has MS. I found his story and what he does to help himself and others with chronic illness inspiring. Here is the link , http://www.annarbor.com/news/living-with-multiple-sclerosis-ypsilanti-ma... I agree with him that its most important to stay in the present moment!

Nicole,

So, I put this under "Spiritual" however, I think it would be more appropriate with a "psychological" heading as well.  I notice that there is a lot of talk of"

1. being scared

2. feeling terrified

3. confused

4. anxiety
