Hi MrsD,

Thank you for your response and all of your other wonderful posts.

I tried Keifer on New Years and did not like it at all. I take Phillips Probiotic and eat Full Fat Greek Yogurt 3 times a week. I thought I was doing well with these two options, but after reading the differences, I will try to come up with a better Keifer option. I definitely see benefits of Keifer and I'm a firm believer in the benefits of Probiotics.

I looked at my labs and Metabolic and Liver tests showed a Protein level of 7.2. I do my best to try to keep myself normalized. I just ordered Alpha Lipoic Acid and Benfotiamine. I will add the two you suggested. Any brand suggestions? I use Amazon due to my Prime Membership.

Does SlowMag cause constipation issues? I have to be very careful with this.

Hi en bloc,

Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. It means a lot just having someone to talk to.

I have an appointment with my GI doctor Friday. He's really good and I believe he has a decent understanding of Nerve related GI issues. After years of fighting my Hiatal Hernia, GERD and Many Food Allergies, the Diverticulosis finally pushed me to change my diet. I basically eat 5-6 small meals/protein shake/snacks per day. It's helped me tremendously. This is partially why the recent Gastro problems are surprising. I've been managing these issues nearly perfectly the last 3 years.

I see an ANA with Reflex Titer listed as Negative. My Mothers' Sister does have Lupus, so I try to keep that in mind.

I'm curious if you see a holistic doctor?
