I too took anti-biotics for Acne control. About 2 years worth, and thats exactly when my digestive problems started also. At the same time I was binge drinking and consuming a terrible diet. Excerts from that book you refer to "Nourishing Traditions" posted on the net, is what started me on my quest of researching fermented foods. I really hope it works for you, and have no reason to believe that it shouldn't. Why don't you also take some garlic, and a liver formula? Garlic helps clean up the intestines from all the nasty bugs and our liver really needs some assistance after what we have put it through.
Thanks for your congratulations. Your right, it ain't easy though, and I am not sure how you do it with three. Good luck to you.
