Hi Gloria,
I spotted some of the new Almond Dream at the HFS the other day, but I was reluctant to buy it bc the label did not say it was SF and Vitamin E was listed among the ingredients. Are you doing okay with it?

Yes, I've been drinking two 8 oz. glasses every day since March 7 and I'm still maintaining remission, remission being 1-2 solid or Normans a day.
I reduced to 1 pill of Entocort every other day on February 14. On March 11, I reduced the Entocort to 1 pill every three days. On April 2, I stopped taking it completely. Since I've been on a very minimal or no dosage of Entocort for two months, I think it would be affecting me if it had any of my intolerances.
I have just begun combining 1/2 Almond Dream with 1/2 of my homemade rice milk with the calcium powder added. I like the taste of the combination better than I like either of them alone. I think that I may start combining the two all the time.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
That's great news, Gloria (both about your remission and about the Almond Dream being SF!). I have not tried making my own rice milk yet, but it sounds fairly simple and much less expensive than the store brands. I'll have to try that soon. I am so happy to have some kind of milk available in the stores, though, especially for when I'm travelling or am in another situation where I can't make my own.

Morning All,
Just got an email from So Delicious and they now have Regular (non-sweetened), Sweetned and Vanilla flavor coconut milk in the stores. Dairy free, soy free, etc. Might be worth checking into as an alternative. I am definitely looking for it.
Love, Maggie

Maggie,
I'll be looking for that, too. (I still need to try to locate some Almond Dream).
Thanks.
Love,

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
