Thank you. I don't want to add artificial sweeteners into my system. From all the studies I've read, there's nothing benign about them. I did write to my GI doc today for direction. I don't feel too stressed, but I can always add more meditation/relaxation practices to my day. And, I'm not taking Magnesium, so I will try that after I check w/ my functional medicine doc. It's been on my list. I would like to add it when I introduce foods, 1 by 1 back into my diet. I am concerned that the BP medication I take and the immunologic might be drying out my colon and I am consuming caffeine, but not in coffee, in order to function throughout the day. I haven't used MOM before. I wonder what my doc will suggest.
