Re: What if you mess up...eating illegals

[Guest guest]

don't do it - you could mess up any balance she's gotten in her gut -

and the meds covering the symptoms doesn't mean she's not being

damaged

I know a few people who used meds no scd no restrictions and ended up

with colostomy bags becasue they " felt " fine didn't mean there wasn't

damage - hey I felt fine for 36 years ans my insides were being

damaged- don't do it please!!!!

She might not suffer symptoms, but you will feed the bad bacteria, and

make it that much harder to get rid of them. Been there, done that. Don't

plan on doing it again.
