Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

First of all, I am not a huge Dr. Oz fan....I find him intriguing and occasionally watch - and that is how I heard him talk about the colon and say that sauerkraut can be soothing to persons with IBS ~ and other similar disturbances. Even he admitted that it sounds surprising ~ but he had some patients say it was helpful.

So ~ I usually have sauerkraut on New Year's day...it's a tradition :) and decided it didn't have to be relegated to once-a-year status. As a matter of fact, it has made a lovely and filling fall dish to have over mashed potatoes ~ and I have found it soothing! It was worth a try!

I have no idea why it works - neither did Dr. Oz. And I don't always agree with what he says, but this seemed to be worth sharing :)
