Thanks DeeDee,
Thanks for the article on healthy gut bacteria and well wishes with my current diet. I'm hoping this milk free, beef and pork avoidance diet does the trick for me this time. I've been more or less decently well to the gut most of the time on this diet but it is the other items that need big improvement for it to be a success such as more energy, healthier appearance, etc. Time will tell. I tend to eat similar meals each day anymore, with turkey, chicken, eggs, being main stays currently. Other common items eaten and drunk include tea, potatoes, oranges, spinach, brown rice, vegan candy corn, grapes, chocolate, milk and dairy free ice cream, and a few other items. I'll have some Imodium each day too anymore. For me I'm not eating all that healthy, with the candy items, but they make for good and easy snacks giving me some extra energy.
