Lysia...glad to hear you got some relief. I struggle with the systemic issues too, and it's just a constant battle. One thing that seems to help is colon cleansing that includes a thorough yeast cleanse (complete with die-off healing crisis reaction...first one was the worst for me). That kind of hits the "reset" button and then diet and acidophilous are more effective than when the system is overrun. Let me know if you need product info, because there are a few good ones out there. Naturally, getting rid of those acute symptoms is first, but the other stuff can be a real help to prevention. Take care. Amy
