Delores,I read several studies a few years ago regarding diarrhea...and the

physicians in the study used a specific probiotic, S. Boulaardi to treat the

diarrhea....now, the study was in HIV positive patients...but that specific

probiotic did wonders for the patients...

Thank you Deb, that is sweet of you, but I don't want you running from store to

store.  I live in Puerto Rico and living here has its' ups and downs.  Our

stores here are not like back home.  So, what Mike will do is get on his laptop

and search the Island and if no one carries it, he will order it online from

wherever he can find it.  He keeps a paypal account open for just such

occasions....I'm sure he'll find it.  He is a saavy computer user.  Thank you

and enjoy the fourth.  My best to you, Dolores

Dolores hi,

Just want to go over all the things for leaky gut you should be using. Aloe vera

gel…I use the gel in a bottle but some use capsules….glutamine which is an

amino acid for the gut and recently Ethel said slippery elm. Of course

acidophilis with a high count of bugs!

As a nurse I know you know all about hand washing but when I had grandbaby’s I

read this article about making sure to wash your hands after changing their

diapers and I never thot of that. I know you take care of your mom and If you

help her in the bathroom …it’s just a suggestion. Also porto rico is not

known for its clean drinking water. If you wash your hands with the water you

may be ingesting bacteria. Maybe try using hand wipes and see if it makes a

difference. Also there are filters you can put on your shower. We have one for

the chemicals in our water. You can absorb it thru the skin. How about washing

your fruit and veggies. I’m sure you probably already do that but I am

thinking about everything here. Sorry if I have offended.

Hi Ethel,  No, no, You have definitely not offended me.  You bring out some

very good points.  In fact all of you have helped me think over so many things

we do in our daily living that we often overlook even though we know them. I

have not had the water supply tested in Puerto Rico, but was told that it is

clean and we pay the water company for it as it comes from a government run

source of purification.  Said that, we still do not drink it.  We use bottled

water for all drinking a cooking purposes.  I never thought about a filter in

the shower. What you brought to my mind is that lately, I have been planting in

the garden and buying soil in bags.  I dig my bare hands into the soil and

possibly have been transferring germs from my fingers to my mouth. Because I

get the soil stuck under my fingernails, I bought some nail brushes the other

day.  We have an outdoor sink in the yard, which we use a lot for watering and

cleaning tools and washing

out garbage cans.  I forgot to put a bar of soap out there and have just been

rinsing my hands instead of giving them a good scrubbing like I was taught to do

when working at the hospitals.  Funny, how you work differently at home than

you do at work.  Yes, thank you for alerting me to pay more attention to the

handwashing ritual. That may be one factor for the problem... Combined, I think

every one's suggestion put together will hopefully end this problem for me.  A

million thanks for suggesting the hygienic part of this.  My mom, thankfully

does her own bathing and bathroom chores.  My job is to cook for her, wash her

clothes, clean her room and guide her when I find her standing in the middle

of a room and she appears to be in a fog, not knowing which direction she was

going in and what her purpose was.  Alz's robs you of that cognizance.  I 

tried to get her into a senior day care center for a few hours each day, but

they said, she

earned too much money on her social security check.  It was a government run

operation.  Wish I could find one that is run by a church.  Wouldn't mind

paying for the services if I could find them.  Yes, stress is a factor also. 

It is not easy taking care of an elderly relative.  It is an eye opener. 

Makes us face our own future every day.  My children and grandchildren make me

happy. Got an e:mail the other day that my grandson and his new bride will be

coming to visit for 9 days at Christmas.  I will be looking forward to going

snorkeling with them.  Will need to find a sitter for mom so I can get away for

a few hours.  Thank you all very much.  The responses have all been very

informative and helpful.  My best to all of you. ~~~~~Dolores
