Hi Bob. I’m glad to hear you are feeling better. For the gut issues give ghee a whirl. This is gonna sound weird, but stick with me. Place a few drops of ghee in your navel before bed and spread it about an inch around. I know it sounds weird, but what’s called the Pechoti Method is an age olde Ayurvedic technique for healing treatments. It can’t hurt to give it a try.
I had to look it up... still need to do a bit more reading. Where do you get it?
Some FReepers suggested Kefir; I thought I had found a solution for five or six weeks, then this 'attack' really knocked me down. At this point I am desperate enough to dance with llamas if it will prevent these gastric attacks. This last one I was severely dehydrated and my BP was 70/30!
