When I was a kid, traveling gave me a bit of a nervous stomach. It seemed I was prone to spastic colon and during times of upheaval or change this nervous tummy issue would rear its unwanted head. Of course, back then doctors had no idea about lactose intolerance or relating digestive disturbances to inflammation - they hardly understand it today. I remember my Grandpa insisting that if I drank a strawberry milkshake, all things, including my irritable bowel, would be right with the world. Knowing what I know today, the shake only served to further inflame my already-nervous intestines and colon, resulting in more cramping and diarrhea. After finding Max,my first Guru,who absolutely saved my life, I figured it all out. Years of suffering subsided, and I was finally free of spastic colon, colitis and irritable bowel issues - even when I was triggered by the stress of travel. A simple protocol of avoiding dairy, adding flora and Kyolic garlic forever fixed my tummy.
