Those are fine. They're enemas. Anyway, you are allowed to ingest

illegals in necessary medicine - some people compound, but not

everyone has the patience and extra cash to do that with daily

meds.

Thanks Mara. I know they are enemas, but I feel like it's putting the bad stuff

right where it shouldn't be since that's where my issue is.

Just a thought.. Could I add in some SCD-friendly acidopholis to the enema to

have the good bacteria go right there? Anyone done such a thing?

Thanks!
