Re: goat milk/goat yogurt

[Guest guest]

Speaking of MAP - there's a guy on another board who's giving out lots of

information about how there's a new MAP vaccine that's being tested now. Anyone

else hear about it? I'm not entirely sure what I think about it (especially

given that I have UC, not Crohn's).

The guy who mentioned this (and is very excited, and clearly certain it will

work) cited these two websites:

and

I'm not holding out any hope that it will work but wouldn't it be nice to
