Re: mucous in stool - for Darla

[Guest guest]

Darla, thank you

I think it will be very wise to go down the route of probiotics and

enzymes before attempting the option offered by the gastro. I do have

Norman on a probiotic called Prebio-7 which I was getting from

Nutricentre, but very possible that it is not as effective as the others

mentioned on this list.

This will most probably be my next move, as for now I have been trying

to manipulate the control of seizures with Vit B6.... waiting to see how

this goes. Some of the ones you've mentioned, I've not come across -

Lipozyme, Klaire Therbiotics - where do you get it from?

Thank you so much, it helps.
