Yeah, just when I think I have something figured out

there is an exception!

I would think after fasting that much you wouldn't have

many bacteria anyway ... maybe the thing to do would

be to take some good probiotic after a long fast. Many

of the probiotic bacteria only live a few days in the gut,

they need to be renewed anyway.

Hey, what are rules without exceptions? ;-)

I have been taking Fervita (EM brew) since the 4th day of the fast, IIRC.

LOL! Further confusion. I will probably start PD again later this week

though. It always firms up my stool.

Isn't lupus linked to gluten? A former boss of mine had lupus. Don't think a

week went by she didn't need pepto after lunch, sometimes days at a time.

Few times a years her lupus would get worse and she'd be out of work. Seems

like diet elimination of some kind should go along with pepto.

lupus is tricky in that officially pretty much no one knows anything about

it. (grunt of frustration).

however, yeah - i'm working with a fellow with lupus and we agreed that

he'd try going gluten free. also we're using coconut oil and other

stuff...it's really quite a nasty disease (disease? i think we use that

word too frequently)

I agree. It won't help long term unless you fix the diet. The way Dr. Fine

wrote about it was ... he gets a patient with microscopic colitis. This

can be caused by NSAIDS or by gluten intolerance. So he does the

pepto thing, which generally clears it up. If it comes back, with no

NSAIDS, then the person needs to change their diet.

Now lupus is another thing altogether. Yeah, it's linked to gluten,

at least for a lot of people (there might be other allergens for

other people). What's horrid is, most folks dont' know any of that,

they just suffer.
