Dear everyone
Jul. 9th, 2008 11:21 pmThank you all so much for your birthday wishes the other day; it was lovely. It was nice getting all those good wishes when I was feeling a bit feeble.
I am slowly getting to grips with online stuff after only just getting to eating real food today. I was going to work this week, but the bug (and the fact I was only eating when I felt I was going to keel over from lack of energy) certainly kept the old energy levels down. Still, I imagine I'll be bouncing back over the next few days and boring you with my normal levels of comment and rantings.
Oh, and the miracle cure for actually eating real food today was my finally hitting on taking a probiotic supplement via capsule. I'd been desultorily eating good quality yoghurt (it's too cold, really), and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
faxon suggested the wee Yakult-type shots, but since I don't drink milk, the idea of sculling one of those made me pukey just thinking of it. Taking the capsules - duh! - gets around that particular problem, there are generally more organisms in a dose, and the capsule design supposedly delivers more of them intact to the lower intestine (rather than mainly the stomach).
Anyways, whether or not it's a coincidence, my digestion seems a heck of a lot more normal today, after starting them yesterday (no TMI, blergh), and I actually had an appetite for lunch and dinner. With protein. And fats. OMG!
