Hi Kandee - About L.V. next year--Dan and I are planning on attending. We'll probably drive out...are husbands welcome?? You'll love him--he's so adorable and has gorgeous eyes. Can you tell I'm in love???LOL We'll be married 23 years Dec 8. It's the longest thing I've ever stuck with!!! Came close a few times to not sticking with it, tho!
Why do you choose chewable pre-biotics? Are they better than capsules?? And (another question) it sounds like they're fiber instead of pre-biotic or am I just stupid???
I just tried putting the fiber pills I get at W-M in water to see how fast they dissolve--and they don't. Now they're on my "crappy" list of stuff not to take. The Nature's Sunshine people warned us about pills because they're so compressed, they might not ever dissolve in your tummy. I take NS Bifidophilus Flora Force which consists of L. rhamnosus 2.5 billion, L. casei 2 billion, L. acidophilus 2.5 billion and B. longum 1 billion. Other ingr are FOS (short and long chain, kosher gelatin and H2O. It says, "FOS (short and long chain) is a blend of dietary fiber (prebiotic) that promotes the growth of friendly bacteria. Cultures are freeze-dried to preserve viability and designed to populate the intentinal tract." (I just answered my own question above...duuuhhhh!) I also take NS Intestinal Soothe & Build (nutrients to support the lower bowel, relieves occasional bloating and pressure, soothes intestinal tract). It has chamomile flowers, marshmallow root, plantain herb, rose hips, slippery elm bark and buglewood herb. Other ingr Kosher gelatin and H2O.
Okay...while we're on the subject, I also take NS Irritable Bowel Fiber. It says "provides essential support in maintaining healthy bowel movements (hip, hip, hooray!!--it doesn't really say that), high mucilage ingr offer soothing effects on the GI tract, and promotes regularity and helps prevent the buildup of toxic compounds). It has short chain fructooligosaccharides (prebiotic dietary fiber), marshmallow root, chamomile flowers, flax meal, apple pectin, asparagus stem, fennel seed, peppermint leaves and cat's claw inner bark. Whew~!
I take more pills than anyone I know and I drink at least 65+ ounces of fluids a day and I still do bupkas.
Speaking of hibiscus tea...have you ever tried Jimaica (pronounced Him-eye'-ca)? It makes a nice red colored tea and is great when sweetened. It's terrific for bladder problems. Cleared mine right up when we were in Mexico a few years ago and I was having all kinds of problems. You can most likely find it in Mexican groceries. That's where I find it.
I didn't understand the prune fairy line? Did they do you in? Don't think it was the prunes, but the gluttoness of the person who ate all the brownies in 2 days. You didn't share them with anyone?? LOL
Sorry with the longness again, but you're so easy to "talk" to.

Have a great Turkey Day, too.
