OFten when my patients have babies and if they have problems instead of using the various probiotics for babies out there, I recommed using the adult ones in MINUTE doses with of course, the permission of the baby's pediatrician.
I typically wil start with lactobacillus acidophilus. This often will address colic and skin issues as a start to helping their immune systems. this is the beginning and I build from there.

I am posting prematurely on this, but, it is 6:30 am and I need to get this off my mind as I thinking about it. As everyone knows, Natren probiotics are my primary choice and has been over many years, although I do divert from time to time for individual reasons.
About a year or more ago, they upped their prices by about $5.00 per bottle. I never passed this cost on to my patients because I felt very strongly about them needing NAtren and not wanting to compromise treatment. So, I gladly accepted the additional costs for myself to allow my patient's process to be uninterrupted.

Interestingly, there is a huge incidence of IC with cats. Very strangely, my cat, who, I shamefully did not spay in time got pregnant and had a litter of not one, but, five kittens earleir this year. I found homes for all of them. The one I kept apparently has, yes, IC. So, I have treated him. He instantly responded positively, but then after about 10 days, began to have symptoms again. Then I realized, I had not changed his water. I did so and since then, which has been another ten days, there have been no symptoms.

Don't forget that when you eat fruit to eat it as a dessert on full belly. If you eat fruit on an empty stomach, it will make your symtpoms worse.

One of my patients wrote me the other day because she said how much she enjoys my blogs but that the site does not really relate to those having vulvadynia and perhpas I could do something specifically for those with this condition.
I want to express how an imbalance in the gut can effect so many different aspects of the human body and the mind. Vulvadynia is simply a different limb off of the same tree. This is why peopple having IC are often found to have other accompanying chronic disorders such as vulvadynia, fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue and others.

Often when I get a new patient, or when I have a patient that is struggling to understand why her body is not getting well as quickly as she would like, she will insist on doing allergy tests and change her diet based on the results of such testing.

This is an article about the mind/gut relationship from the point of view of the vagus nerve. This is part of the perspective and very interesting. Much of what is thought in the world of psychiatric medicine is that the mind effects the body. But, I have always insisted, it is the other way around in many instances as well. And, this dynamic is of equal weight and importance.

One of my patients sent this this am, and I thought how interesting it is. It is her thoughts from 8 months of treatment. IT did not edit it, except for the one word I am not allowed to post, I replaced it with a like word:
Things I learned on the diet (months 1-8)
