Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Mark, I've always wondered exactly what Avicel was. I was told it was a kind of paper by my pharmacist. I have had no problems taking it and am glad to avoid the lactose filler as I am on the MS Best Bet Diet. Thanks for the info.!

I immediately switched back to lactose and all was 100% better again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hi Mark--I was happy to read the posts about the fillers in LDN. I personally am allergic to many fruits & veggies. I cannot process herbs unless they are in a tea form. Also, am lactose intolerant, so looks like I'll be asking Skip for Acidophilus...

I've heard they do use Acidophilus on specification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
