Let me add that I didn't even start to get better until I eliminated all additive and preservatives from my diet. It made little difference what I ate if it had additive and preservatives. This meant that I eliminated most processed foods. As most of you have eluded to, becoming healthy is a process and we all seem to have our own little perculiarites.

Thanks Judy. I know this is a common reaction, and have tried giving miniscule amounts...using just a partial dose of a childrens version. I wish I could buy coconut or goat kefir because I just don't want to make it! Kefir is supposed to be easier on the symstem. I have not tried Culturelle, though, so maybe I should give that one a try. I think it is supposed to be gentle.

One thing I have never been able to find out is how long the die off should last, but I just can't seem to keep it up long enough to get past it... I've always given up between 7-10 days because she just doesn't tolerate it...even with partial doses. It doesn't seem to make sense.

I think I've also read that excessive gas (and she has a fair amount always...only comes out during bm's) can indicate that digestive enzymes might be useful. That I just talk alot about trying, but still never have.

I'm not behind in my budget for once. This would be a good time to order things, so let the product recommendations fly~
