Kandee - thx for your response. Just a note though, Nature's Sunshine charges $40 to become a member but you get that in product so there's really no out-of-pocket that you don't get anything for. Some of their products are reasonably priced. I just got a brochure from Puritan's Pride and their product prices compare with Nature's Sunshine. And, yes, their QC is great because they do a QC with EVERY BATCH. I know they're in it for the money (aren't we all when we're selling stuff), but they seem to care about getting the word out to people that if you don't start treating your body right, it'll come back and bite you in the butt. You sound down on them, but I've learned a lot about their products and what their premise behind the product is.
Okay, so I haven't been on the boards for a long time, but how come no one talks about pre/probiotics, etc and using them to help with IBS? I'm trying to get a rise out of Heather, but I think she's bogged down with other stuff and Will was away for a week and she was left do do everything by herself. That's why I sent her the CD on Colon in Crisis. BTW, everything was going great gutwise for me until last night. Don't know what happened, but the gas was unforgiving and I still have it this morning. Guess it's back to rice and flour tortillas for me for today!!! Better than the alternative, tho, right?!
Actually, it makes good sense to me that if your gut is lacking the good bacteria and enzymes (Beano is a digestive enzyme--aspergillus niger to be exact)that should be there to process food and get it on its way, that person would have gut problems, i.e. IBS. It's like when you take anti-biotics for something, it kills all the bacteria--good or bad--and that's why some women get yeast infections when taking them (including me).
As for the artificial sweeteners in one of their biotic products, that probably was a while ago because I just checked the label (which you can do on-line BTW) and there were no AS in them.
Where do you buy your prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes? And, which ones are you taking? Got the prebiotics that you mentioned--thx.
Can you believe that here in a town of 2000 that I can get organic chicken and turkey and beef? I was shocked but we had a new grocery store come in and they carry it and it's only 10 minutes drive for me and on the way to the store. I couldn't believe how good organic (Harris Ranch) beef tasted. Of course, I haven't eaten it for about 6 months either!
Thank you, Kandee, for an enlightening response and I look forward to your response to the above questions.
Sharon
