Claudia:
Yes, I have heard of the cranberry capsules, but I am terrified to try them because my IBS is so severe. If I consume one wrong thing, I can be in agony for up to two weeks.
Usually, if I try something new, I just take a miniscule amount to start and slowly build up from there if I am okay at each step of the way. However, it would be difficult to do this with a capsule because more or less I think I would have to take the whole thing at once. (I must admit I don't know what the capsules look like or whether I could cut them up into tinier pieces to start.) Also, I wonder if the capsules are made from lactose, which many pills are. This wouldn't be good for my IBS because all milk products might as well be a deadly poison since I get horribly ill from them.
So I just shudder at the thought of trying those capsules! I am severely limited when it comes to pills and such. For example, I can't tolerate any vitamin pills and most medications would be a scary proposition for me.
Although I am always upbeat and never let IBS get in the way of my life and I am well most of the time (my last terrible attack was a year ago), every now and then I am faced with my limits.
By the way, I note you are a Canadian army wife. I hope and pray your husband isn't stationed in Afghanistan. We have lost far too many of our precious young servicemen/woman there.
