    Down to 5mg now for pred. I went to see my Gp yesterday and had my b12 shot and told him I was in the hospital beginning of Jan from a partial blockage. I told him that my findings were most likely from almonds. So I said "I will never eat Almonds again for the rest of my life" and he said...

    Could this be Flagyl?

    Hi there I am very experienced with Flagyl, I have never had that problem. Itchy skin can come from many things. You would be surprised how many get it, but mostly in the summer months. Yes, it can be a side from crohn's. But then again isnt everything???

    Cooking with rice milk?

    I love tapioca and Rice milk wont work and lactose free milk doesnt work for me so I am happy without the tapioca. Just to let you know to really shake the carton before you use it, has a tendency to settle.

    Vsl3 vs primal defence

    I think for 2 boxes which is good for 30 packages, and I took 2 sachets a day it cost for 2 boxes about 80 bucks CDN give or take. But it is 450 billion of these critters a day.
