Hope this helps

Hi Bill,

I'm sorry to be able to add to this discussion, but unfortunately, I also have extensive experience in this department. besides, we're all family right? Anyway, I also have found the Activia helpful. I add a tablespoon of ground flax seed. However, while your friend is in Chemo, it is best to check with the onc. about the flax seed. Another "natural" rememdy that seems to help me is "Naked Juice - Green Machine". Odwalla also makes a green drink formula too, also helpful. Both of these drinks are smoothie type formulas and are chock full of healthy stuff. In my area they are sold at Whole Foods and Safeway. Even if they don't solve the problem completely they are good for some extra veggies, fruits and vitamins. I hope this helps.
