Oh, no, no, no, I don't do raw onions either. Cooked, fine, I just have to
deal with the intestinal issues. Actually, I like a lot of foods, but don't
eat them due to colitis that I've had since about age 13/14. Colitis is
certainly not getting better with age!

My sister in law and one of her daughters both suffer from colitis. SiL was
visiting once and going through a bout of it. I suggested that she try some
kefar that I happened to have. It is a fermented milk product. The fermentation
process eats all the lactose and there is a bacteria that helps to restore the
intestinal flora. She gave it a try and was impressed with the results. It is
not cheap to buy, but you can get the crystals and make it yourself at home.

I have to admit that it has a strange smell to it, but it tastes like yoghurt
that has been watered down with soda water.





Kefir is good, yogurt is good,

balanced pro-biotic supplements are better. ;-) 

but expensive :)
