Yes! I agree!! I make a big smoothie every morning and rotate some of the good gut choices and lots of organic berries + greens, superfoods...no dairy. (Northwest wild foods has some great berries you probably cannot find in your area, very high in antioxidants ..immune boosting) Avoiding the foods Thumper mentioned can help with inflammation as well!! (which is basically what we are dealing with) All of these changes + many more has helped my conditions and my CT's have even improved. (not expected!) Blessings!

Hi Kathleen - I continue to use dairy in my smoothies, homemade Greek yogurt with nothing added. Years ago, due to my thick, sticky mucus, we did a 2 month dairy-free test to see if it would help - no change. So I went back to limited dairy for the calcium and other nutrients. Greek yogurt, hard cheeses, and lactose free milk.
So my smoothies have a big scoop of yogurt as well as whatever I find in the fridge.
We visit our local farmers' markets for fresh local produce and it makes up at least 50% of our daily diet. We have a diverse community near both of our homes, so have added many new and unfamiliar foods at the urging of local producers.
