They ate grapes and pears a few days ago, and ever since then they’ve both had the most foul smelling yellow diarrhea. They both had a fever the morning after they ate the pears, but it went away quickly and otherwise they act normal (not sick).

My mother in law says they just got cold, but I’m afraid it might be a bacteria or parasite. Anyone have any similiar experience?

If probiotic acidophilus is taken, will it recover to normal flora? Do I have to take probiotics for throughout my life or I can stop after taking few days? If so how many days I have to take these probiotics? Any side effects of taking these probiotics?

I’m planning on doing this diet in a few days but I need to know what exactly are the things I have to buy for it like the.. cayenne pepper, laxative tea.. etc.
What are the directions of doing the diet? Step by step..

And where are common places I can buy the items? (walmart perhaps?)

Thanks so much!

P.S.- Do you have any advice for me on the diet? any comments?

Again, thanks!!!!
Also, can I do exercise while on this diet?

Does natural detoxification really work?




http://www.drnatura.com

I found this site a few days ago, and am seriously considering undergoing this treatment. I’ve been plagued with near-constant stomach pains and headaches and a general feeling of malaise since I was 13, with no solid diagnoses from my doctors.

I’m wary, however. This product seems to be a magical cure-all. My mind automatically associates things like this with snake-oil salesmen. I’m never convinced by testimonials, because… well, would they really post negative feedback on their site if they’re trying to sell something?

So is this system worth spending my money on?

The selection of foods I can eat is becoming smaller and smaller. It has gotten so bad, that I will sometimes fast a few days to avoid later consequences, or just to give my stomach time to settle down. What is the longest you’ve gone without eating just because you wanted to avoid IBS flair ups? Water only? Each time I’ve visit the Gastrointernest, he just tells me to avoid certain foods and stress. I’m also wondering if I have an allergy to certain foods.

I ask this because I know you need a few days after the initial 10 days to get your body back to eating normally again. I am going on a cruise in 12 days so how will I be able to do both? Should I end before 10 days? Is the post diet routine that important? Please let me know.
