CJ, thanks so much for responding. I purchased the VSL#3 but cancelled my purchase as I kept reading more on the subject and there seems to be such controversy among users. I feel like I need someone to monitor with me what's happening to me as I think I'm losing my mind trying to figure this thing out alone. I hope to find a nutritionist who has knowledge in this area. And I'm hoping together we can lick this sucker! I too started the hypnosis cds but never got past 2 weeks as things got hectic in my life. I would start again, but I don't have much faith in it. It's nice and relaxing, but I don't see it changing my digestive system all that much. That's the thing with this "nobody knows what the h-- to do for us" situation. I find that I'm trying so many things at once and then when all hell breaks loose I have no clue where it came from. But I do wish you well and lots of luck with the new products. I'd love to hear updates from you re: Udo and if I come upon something/someone that helps me I'll keep you posted too. SarahT
