My #4 learned to swallow capsules when she was 2, altho you are right, she could not swallow " horse sized " pills. Try a different probiotic that comes in a smaller capsule, or buy empty capsules and break up the larger one into smaller ones. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So before taking ANY iron supplements you need to be 100% CERTAIN you need them. If you can only afford one of the tests, get ferritin tested. sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Rose, when you're addressing candida and dysbiosis you need to reduce carbohydrates; skip common " cleanses " that use them, for example the Master Cleanse, which uses lemon juice and Maple syrup. Probiotics eat PREbiotics, and of those, inulin is the best one for gut ecology. Inulin also confers some protection to the liver. With the inulin present you probably don't need probiotics, but if you take them, take one with at least three types of bifidobacteria. I think the iridologist is guessing.

This is a tumor marker for ovarian cancer which my Mom was recently diagnosed with in stage 4. A vaginal ultrasound and CT Scan have been ordered. I'm concerned about the radiation from the CT Scan and thinking of doing the vaginal ultrasound first and see what is found and go from there. > > Yesterday, I went to an iridologist, Ivy Bridge in Tustin, CA and was told that my body is acidic, digestion is poor in stomach, small intestine has too much mucus, neck and lower spine are out, liver is toxic, pancreas is weak, lymph congested, low in calcium, left AND right lobe of thyroid are weak and immune system is low in iron.

I definitely need to do a colon cleanse and am curious about the one listed above that she recommends. She is supposedly the " Queen of Colon " although I have never really heard of her. > Anyone have any opinions on colon cleansing? > > The choices of enzyme products are overwhelming and I'd like to hear what others are using and why.
