Re: enzymes now diverticulitis

[Guest guest]

-Hi Suzie I think this is Suzie's post! I answered a few and am

losing track :-) I did used to love cheese on everything until the

attack, I remember buying an import cheese from Europe somewhere and

it promised to be an experience of good taste! aged white-like in

colore and smooth like more like goat cheese which I incidently

crave! but wasn,t as good as promised I think it was a hard cheese

cause it tasted inbetween swiss and colby. I got sick perhaps from

that aged cheese or it helped set my system up as the last straw with

all the other raw vegetables and spinach which sometimes looked

wilted on the edges or veins? Any how thanks for your most beneficial

help with the definitive description help entailed on your research.

After a number of alternatives, I am going to have surgery on my neck

as I didn't find any alternative to fix the problem... I did

elininate my pain (not the numbness) so I accomplished something..

but the disks are too ruptured (along with the bone spurs) and

pushing out onto the spinal cord.
