Thanks very much for the info. We all need to boost the good critters in our guts. From what I’ve read, a lot of our immune system is ‘down there’.

Apparently it’s the largest portion of our immune system, which at first seems odd. Probiotic bacteria feed on the insoluble fiber in our diet (the fiber are ‘pre-biotics’) and they spin off molecules that are a major part of our immune system. Doesn’t exactly sound like the ‘paleo diet’ would do your immune system much good...
