I'm talking about supplements, herbs, etc...something you take everyday that helps you in some way. Celiac treatment related or not....list what you take, where you get it and what it does! Awesome!

My Wife. My Family. Her Family. Kayaking. Kayaking again. Riding my bike. My friends. My School. My work. Remembering that my life is not defined solely by the things I eat.

That's my "secret" weapon. I also take a multivitamen and B-complex vitamin, but I don't know if they do anything....

Chocolate is also high in magnesium, which is why so many people crave it.

I think probiotics are essential, but I have to agree with Geoff, it's my family, especially hubby, that keeps me going.

CHOCOLATE Viactiv!!

My daily 3 of these foil-wrapped wonders have been helping me rebuild my poor osteoporetic bones which...keeps me dancing (the other thing I can't live without)!

Synthroid! I always know when my dosage needs to be changed because I'm extremely tired.

MY Daughter Hannah is my secret weapon, she is the Princess in my life, along with my husband, she tells us that we are "her subjects in her kingdon"

Made up Knock Knock jokes, I can be in one of those moods and she gives me one of her made up Knock Knock jokes and it brings me right out of it.

Currantly looking for a Vitamin supplement that does not make me too constipated.

I don't take anything everyday, but here are things I find helpful and energizing:


Bach Rescue Remedy (relieves stress - it's amazing)

Vitamin B supplements

Omega-3 Fish oil supplements

Chlorella

Organic fruits and veggies put through a juicer

Coconut oil or fresh young coconut water

What's your reccommendation for probiotics? i've talked to the people at the health food store, and done a little reading on them, but I don't have insurance right now, so I have no dr. to talk w/...but i've been curious to try them.

I take a lot of probiotics because I'm on a lot of long-term antibiotics for Lyme Disease. I'm taking Metagenics Ultra Flora, Theralac, and VSL#3. All are available on the internet. I would recommend the Ultra Flora or Theralac. The VSL#3 would be over-kill for you. The Theralac is the stronger of the two, but the Ultra Flora is good, too.

does it matter brand-wise what probiotics you use? i'm still very nervous to try them...but if they'll help, i'm game.



Also, does anyone take pomegranate or noni? i've heard these are both good supplements to use.
