Hi Cheryl,
So good to hear you had a good night. I can relate to the coffee, I too miss it sooo much. I tried to have some a couple of weeks ago, what a mistake! Took me three days to recover. Grr...Before I bought my kit from Heather, I went and bought Fennel seeds at my local HFS, that's all her tea is. I put the some of the seeds in a ziplock and "beat" them a little to break them up and release more of the flavor. The fennel has really helped. I have been unable to find a plain fennel tea in teabages, but I did find one by Yogi brand that has fennel in it, along with other very helpful herbs. I believe it is called Stomach ease, I love the flavor and is very helpful. I alos wanted to ask, and I'm sorry if I'm repeating someone else, but what kind of calcium supp are you taking? I was taking a regular cal/mag supp for ever adn then someone explained to me that magnesium causes D, and calcium citrate was just as hard. Had no idea! I switched to calcium carbonate and it helped quite a bit. Tends to lean towards C, which for us usually only means slowing the D, I never got C from it. Also, have you tried beano? After years of gas( I always figured it was just a sales pitch, and couldn't really work, I'm a skeptic like that), I finally tried it, and it has helped tremendously. Another thing that has helped me, I have found that a good bowl of oatmeal( I prepare Heather's peach recipe) everyday is the only food , so far, that doesn't hurt me or cause me awful gas and bloating and I believe it has helped to keep me somewhat stable. I too am pretty sensitive to sourdough, and many other breads. I hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you want to, I'm always glad to help.
Alyson
