VSL on vacation: carbonated beverage experiment, etc

Hi all - I've been away for 10 days, and we just pulled in, so I'll try to catch up on the forum this evening and tomorrow.

My VSL learnings: The packet insert DOES say to mix it with "non-carbonated beverages"....... well, one night, he only thing I had on hand was a carbonated drink, so, I mixed it.
It fizzled up and almost overflowed the glass - LOL! It reminded me of when my kids were young and we would put vinegar into baking soda to make a "volcano".....!!
I have NO clue if that dose of VSL did me any good. lol.

Later in the week I learned that if I mixed it with plain water it wasn't do bad! So, hats off to those of you who have done that for a long time. That taste indeed is not horrible.

UC-wise, I am as close to remission as I've been in more than a year......! I have been eating salads and all kinds of "dangerous" things (in moderation.) I've been taking VSL #3 DS three times a day and doing a Canasa each night - the Canasa have always helped me a lot even when Rowasa have seems to bring on bleeding.

I thought of you all that night in a hotel room in Virginia when I mixed the VSL and it bubbled...... lol!

Well, we all make 'mistakes.' I've always taken the VLS#3DS with yogurt, but I think it's a great idea to take it with water; we can never drink enough water.

Welcome back, moderatorlady and congrats for the 'close to remission.'

Too funny! Lesson learned huh? :) Welcome home and I'm glad you are feeling better.
