Also, my veterinarian suggested D mannose for my female dog that kept getting UTIs, and it worked for her! Rosie I can confirm that th...

Re: Newly diagnosed with LC, needing some guidance

Supplements are good too, but I believe you can train your immune system to learn what is good and what is not, and doing that through small portions is the way to go. I guess I like the grind, don’t I?

Re: Risk of recovery foods becoming trouble

It’s understandable to be concerned, but it sounds like you’re on the right track.
