Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Hi Kathy, I cannot comment on your specific problem, except that my rheumatologist recommends getting a flu shot BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC when taking drugs that suppress your immune system.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks Ute, So far, I am doing really well with the probiotic. This is something I can buy OTC. Tonight will be the ultimate test. I drank some real milk for the first time in ages. It tasted so agood. So far no bloat or cramping. I do not like the taste of that yuck tasting Lactaid stuff, I have been drinking it for over a year. I'll let you know if it works. Yes, I totally stay away from Immune suppressants. I need my Immune system intact to fight off any infectious material that may inadvertantly enter into my system. Take care Ute and thank you for any and all information. The best to you, Dolores & Mike From: Ute <nowyoga@...> Subject: rheumatic Immuran rheumatic Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2009, 8:37 PM Dolores, Immuran suppresses the immune system, so it may not be the answer in the long run.(No pun intended) , enjoy the reprieve, but keep checking into other ways of treating the problem. Immune suppressants are a double edged sword. Take care, Ute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi Dolores If you have diarrhea, why don't you try taking yogurt? It really helps unless you are lactose sensetive. I heard apple juice helps too. soheila From: mike rosner <martysfolks2004@...> Subject: Re: rheumatic Immuran rheumatic Date: Thursday, September 3, 2009, 12:14 AM Thanks Ute, So far, I am doing really well with the probiotic.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 To Sohelia. Hi kid---Glad you are doing so much better than when I first met you. You work hard at it and I am proud of you. The reason I can't eat Yogurt is that I am very lactose intolerant. Have been since 1967.. Milk is my enemy! So far, the Probiotic is working for me.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Can't take apple juice either, I have diabetes and there is just too much sugar in apple juice. For that matter, I must stay away from all fruit juices. But thanks for the suggestions. I think, in order not to stir my body up, I will stay with the Probiotics. It is working.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 hi dolores if you take raw milk and make your own yogurt or kefir and ferment at least 24H the lactose is gone. also you can get probiotics by eating raw sauerkraut and make kefir with coc water. both natural sources of probiotics. monique To Sohelia.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thank you for your input. I will try it when I can find the time to make it. I am so busy with mom and her Alzheimers that I simply forget to take better care of myself. I should try harder, but there is not enough time in the day. This caregiver needs a caregiver for Mom.
