Joelle - Good luck! I hope it works well for you and your tummy as well as everything else starts to feel better soon.

mrsD - Thanks for the link. That is rather interesting. Of course, I have heard many times over that most diseases start in the gut. So it makes sense to me to do what you can to keep a healthy gut. I limit my gluten as I found that some things really bother my stomach, like pretzels. And I love pretzels.

Mariel - So true on the canned pears. I don't know what it is. The only thing I could think of is that they are soft and easier to digest than fresh pears. Canned pears have become my new friend and a staple in this house.

How are you doing today Dej?
