Health~ma for your mom and dad, and tons of coping~ma to you, Nora.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Steph, I have a question about probiotic pearls. I remember you mentioning them eons ago as something beneficial to you.
I bought the CVS variety yesterday because I'm having some yeast issues but the directions do not say whether to take them with or without food. Google isn't helping either.
Anything I should be on the lookout for? I'm planning to do a 30 day course and am hoping for good results.
I'm also going to do a 21 day vegan meal plan starting next week...excellent Groupon thank you!
With all the whackadoo stress these days, I'm hoping a clean diet will help.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I always took them without food, but that's just because I took them with my other supplements first thing in the morning (which I take on an empty stomach because I'm not hungry when I first wake up). I don't think it matters hugely, and I can't recall reading anything about when to take them. Although I just got this month's Yoga Journal (an Xmas gift from my yogi mom) in the mail and it has an article on probiotics, so I'll skim that and see if it says.

Yes! Do you have experience with them, Hil? My one worry is that I can't do onions and I suspect their stuff is prepared in bulk without a lot of room for variation.

Cheers!
Since the pearls are supposed to keep the probiotic intact through the stomach, I am hoping it doesn't matter, but also thought that more acid might speed up the breakdown of the shell.
Any insight is appreciated.

The Yoga Journal article ended up being about topical skincare products with probiotic ingredients. ??? I have never heard of this, and in any case, it's not relevant to your question anyway.
I guess I'm going to stick with my position of "it probably doesn't matter if you take them with food or on an empty stomach."

Yeah, I was ordering their meals for a while. It is prepared in bulk -- unless you get one of the custom meal plans, then they just send you whatever meals they happen to make that week. I usually thought they tasted OK, but not spectacular. I often added hot sauce or spices to them. The portion sizes felt kind of small at first, but after a few days, I wasn't hungry anymore.
