Thanks everyone - I always appreciate your input. My other question would be "when" you take your probiotic...morning, night, on an empty stomach or with food???? I've been taking mine first thing in...
Just wondering if those of you that take probiotics take them all the time or just when you're flaring? I have been taking Reuteri for several months while I was flaring. But now that I'm doing...
Yes, they talked about infusion. They prefer to try to oral medication first due to possible side effects with the infusion. Thanks for your reply and congrats on that new baby!!!!!...
