I'm wondering why, if there's any reasonable worry here (who thinks there isn't?), the FDA can't just go ahead and require a label so consumers can at least ...

...I take a cal-mag supplement, but not as often as I should.

Hi Zizzle,

I haven't reviewed the information in my book on magnesium ( The Magnesium Miracle ) in a long time, but I'm pretty sure that it advises taking those two minerals separately from one another, at times well apart. I think it ...

Incidentally, a friend sent me this article after her pediatrician suggested she give her child Miralax EVERY DAY to address his constipation. She was freaked out. Is there truth to this? Could PEG be this toxic???

Miralax is practically given to kids like candy!!

Hi, I take the capsules 30 to 60 minutes before I eat. Now, I take one a day and also take a Primal Defense Ultra from Garden of Life 60 minutes before the VSL on an empty stomach. The Primal Defense is only 18 billion cells but contains some different strains of probiotics.

Hi Jon,

Thanks so ...

I am taking 2 capsules /day. I paid $50 at Walgreens (1 bottle/60 capsules).

I looked into that through the manufacturer's search thing and was surprised to find no drugstore selling it within maybe 40 minutes of my house. So I did it the amazingly expensive way. You've convinced me to check into ...

I am currently back on VSL3 for symptoms of SIBO and it is helping.

Be sure that you are getting enough folic acid (vitamin B-9) also, because B-12, B-9 and iron have to be in balance.

Hi Wayne,

Thanks so much for this information--stuff that I didn't know. I'll remain firm in my recent decisions to quit skipping doses of daily vitamins/B-complex for sure, and ...

Hi Jennifer,

I'm new here too and seeing lots of interesting posts to comment on. I started on a relatively short reply to one of your posts, but then something you said made me think that I ought to look back through your stuff for some other things, and that got me to look at more posts. So this ...

Welcome to our internet family.

Thank you! I'm so glad to be here. To put it mildly...

I am trying now to recover from a really bad problem. When I was younger and healthier overall, I didn't get totally wiped out for so long after a diarrhea bout. It has been more than 24 hours now and I'm ...

...that autoimmune diseases may be theoretically transmissible by blood transfusions to an already immunocompromised person, but not an individual with a normal immune system.

Hi Tex,
