Re: Has Bridget gone to the doctor yet ?Brigid?

Brigid:

Have you tried adding a good, strong dairy free acidophilus to your

supplement regimen? THe antibiotics you took for surgery may have

killed off all the " good " bacteria and you haven't been able to build

it back up.

Look for dairy free acidophilus in the refrigerated case at your local

health food store. I know Whole Foods carries them. Ethical Nutrients

is the retail arm of Metagenics and their stuff is always top-notch.

You've also tried eliminating all forms of dairy from your diet,

right?

Good luck and be well,

Sharon, 10 years and 2 days post-op

Brigid -

So sorry you're still having to deal with the diarrhea. Perhaps you have

already tried this, but just in case -- wanted to let you know that this

helped firm up my bowel movements a bit. I take Ultra Acidiophilus each day

and it has helped a lot. I bought mine at GNC.

Hope the runs are soon a thing of the past for ya!
