Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 This is one of the first things I thought about when putting K on this diet as she did have an extreme problem with drinking excessively....And recently from not having her probiotics. We ran out for a short time. EEk! Don't run out in your house. Order ahead of time!
