Dominican Republic! How cool! I'm going on a cruise - my first vacation since starting the EFI diet so I'm QUITE nervous. I just wish I could take the Bio-K with me!
Glad to hear you're still doing well!

Can you not take it with you? That's what I plan to do. We're paying a little extra for a room with a mini-fridge and microwave (not sure if that's available on a cruise). So I'm bringing applesauce and BIO-K, and maybe some oatmeal packs. There'll be plenty of food there, but it's nice to have a safe backup in my room for inbetween meals or early morning/late night.
I think cruises are good for food in terms of getting specialized things. My friend who is diabetic went on one and said the cooks were fabulous, and food was available pretty much all the time.

how will you store the bio-k while in transit to your destination?

I'm putting it in my checked luggage in a little cooler bag with an ice pack. I already tried putting a couple in a bag with an ice pack, checking on them during the day and it seemed like they stayed at a reasonably cool temperature.
I haven't looked into airline regulations about this stuff but I assume it's safe in my luggage?

I have been eating occasional dairy and not had any problems in a month. I dont have any explanation to it. I do have a delicious non dairy cheesecake recipe but its all Tofutti cream cheese and Toffutti sour cream. There is a nice fat content in it. Let me know if you are interested in this recipe. It will never be as good as the real thing though.

We'll have a fridge and coffee pot in our stateroom (no microwave), but I have no way of keeping it cold while traveling! Plus, each bottle is 3.5 ounces, which is above the 3 oz per container limit for carry-on items. I'm planning to take a big loaf of Cinnamon Zucchini bread to eat first thing in the morning (before my workout), then have fruit and toast for breakfast instead of my usual smoothie. I was REALLY debating taking my blender with me... Then I'll probably take some pretzels, graham crackers, dry cereal, and LOTS of tea bags. I told the cruise line that I have a "dairy allergy", so hopefully that will help! And I've heard they're very good about making things low-fat when asked, since so many people watch their weight these days.

Is BioK meant to used every day in such a large quantity? Just wondering?

I'm not sure what you mean by large quantity. The recommended dose is 1/2 or 1 bottle per day. I've been doing 1 bottle per day and it's working great. (Just to clarify, one bottle is a small individual-size bottle of soy yogurt with probiotic)

Oh, thank you , now I know what you mean. There is a small bottle that I saw. So you do not find that the soy bothers you with gas in it? What about the taste - is it overly sweet? I am trying to eat low fructose. I am wanting to try it to see if it helps with getting complete evacuation. Thanks, Debbie IBS-C
