All of you know how hard you are working to regain your healthy balance and get back to life--ordering more normally in a restaurant, not needing to worry about every minute ingredient in a meal served at a friends house, etc...
I wanted to say that the brands of the supplements we recommend are very important and substituting one brand for another often will change the results. It is not always one for one.
Over the years observing which brands work best for different purposes has been a big part of our clinical experience.
Sometimes in some cases making a substitution to hold you over while you are waiting for the correct supplement to arrive is OK, but, please always check.

An interesting email exchange came up this morning with a patient who is sick with a cold/flu and is feeling worse. Long story short she had been drinking Gatorade and eating applesauce and is feeling much worse. I had replied to her email and it sounded as if I was giving her a hard time for eating those foods because of her bladder. And, while that is true--that was not what prompted me to say what I said.
