Glad your doc approves of the AC. Hope your Mom gets her issues sorted out again. I saw aloe at Walmart but I think it needs to be a certain brand, doesn't it. I have an aloe plant in my kitchen in case of burns, but the plant isn't that big - I would eat the whole thing relatively fast if I were consuming it for my diarrhea, and I would hate to destroy the plant.
Wow, that's some car. I guess a Peat car would be an Orange-mobile or Carrot-mobile.
Hmm...well, baking soda would neutralize acid by raising your pH, but the apple cider vinegar drink would actually make you more acidic. Now, if you didn't produce enough stomach acid to begin with, taking the ACV drink with meals will give you an acidic medium to help digest your foods. At least, that's how it works in RBTI.
I know Jenn mentioned getting the Aloe juice at Walmart. Umm...this brand I think:

Wilfrid recommended this brand which I'll be ordering:

Ha ha...yeah, a Peat car could be an orange-mobile or even a milk jug-mobile.
Funny thing is, right when we get on the highway, there's this brick building to the right that has a huge pencil sticking out of the corner of it and meanwhile I see that peanut-mobile and I thought it hysterical. I felt like I was in storyland or something. :)
I think I'll stick to the AC for now and work on my stomach acid too, where apparently I have an issue. I took some time to read up on it this evening, and I'm thinking I don't produce enough acid. I have a lot of the symptoms, such as not feeling good when I eat meat, like it's hard to digest, and having gas and bloating after meals. And stomach burning at times. Maybe the diarrhea is from that problem and if I get it corrected, I would stop having "IBS" with the diarrhea, bloat, aches, and wondering if I'm digesting half the nutrients I eat. So I think I'll start back on ACV with meals or look into Betain. Do you or anyone know about that?
Maybe this is why some people claim they look and feel younger when they use ACV - because they are finally able to get all the minerals, vitamins, protein their body needs and it stops the premature aging that occurs otherwise...
With baking soda, I get a good feeling from it when I take it between meals, say with a cup of green tea with some sugar or honey. It also makes my coffee taste smoother. And if I have baking soda in water first thing I feel like it gives me energy. But I also get the same with ACV in water in the morning, so I don't know.
I'm going to look into this low stomach acid problem more, and would appreciate any thoughts anyone has on the issue. Thanks.
Oh and Jenn, that's funny about the pencil building. Surreal, I'm sure.
