Yeah I intend on giving soil based probiotics a go in near future as well. I've been eating some natural sauerkraut (proper stuff although not home made) so hopefully that has been adding some bacteria. I'm half tempted to go put my hands in the garden soil and give them a good lick afterwards smile

I've increased my Borax intake recently and should be getting about 24 mg a day now of Boron. I haven't taken an NSAID for 3 days, pain increased a little after first 24 hours, then it ended up subsiding so haven't felt the need for another yet. Pain levels good at around 1. Even with eating green banana last night. Mind you, yesterday I ended up on an unintended 20 hour fast as I had a call-out to problem at work and missed lunch (I don't eat breakfasts) so maybe that has something to do with it. Managed to maintain stable energy all through it though. Didn't really get overly hungry either.
