One thing I am curious about -- if you're feeling crummy all the time, how can you truly figure out your triggers? Herbal tea is really the only thing I can say with 100% confidence is a trigger because I always get D right after I drink it. Oh, and cigarette smoke -- if I inhale it more than, oh, say, five seconds, I am sprinting for the nearest bathroom. But I can't honestly say that X doesn't bother me, because I am always D-ish and so I don't know if it's X, Y, Z, or 46 that's killing me. Or all of the above.
Sourdough bread is basically white bread, but instead of using yeast you let water and flour sit until it becomes disgusting and bacteria-filled, and then make it into bread. Sounds yummy, eh?? Actually, a lot of people really like it, but to me it just tastes like something gone horribly wrong.
Where does one usually buy slippery elm? I don't recall seeing that in the supplement section at the usual chain stores. I am finally going to try Acacia, but if that disagrees with me the way other fibers do I will probably try slippery elm. What do you think of this? I found it when I googled for slippery elm: Intestinal/Soothe & Build
Can you take multivitamins? I have never been able to take multivitamins with extra iron in them -- even when I had a normal digestive system the iron gave me horrid cramps. I've tried the 4 or so kinds available w/o iron and they all violently disagree with me.
I'm curious about the aloe vera juice you mentioned -- will do a search on it and see what comes up.
Thanks for the advice!
