Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 This sounds familiar. Are you following Dr. Mercola's diet? The kids are not dairy right now, but after the new year we were going to challenge this with raw milk cheese. We have been slowly removing rice and corn products. They have to eat vegetables before they get meat before they get rice/corn products. At this point, they frequently say they are no longer hungry before they get to the grains. I am buying two boxes of gorilla munch cereal (one box is polished off by playdates), two things of rice cakes, two packages of rice crackers, and one bag of popcorn per every two weeks. Why the slippery arm bark? Recently I purchased a pro-biotic, absorbaid, zinc, and gluta (something or another). Kids already get Carlson's Cod liver oil, vitamin, Vitamin C (absorbate), and calcium supplements (in both liquid and chewable form). > , > > You're getting there. > > > To help with the gut problems, I recommend the use of probiotics, L- > Glutamine and slippery elm bark.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 , Slippery Elm Bark coats the mucous lining of the gut which will help it to heal. L-Glutamine is a gut strengthener amino acid (also a muscle strengthener). No I'm not using the diet - as I have no need and I don't have dogs with IBD/IBS/Colitis. But the same applies to humans or dogs if they have intestinal problems. Grains aggravate more than dairy. Also if need be digestive enzymes are helpful, especially if they also help digest meats/fat and plant matter.
