You probably know way more than I do about how to get rid of that quick so you can enjoy your trip-and I’ve heard that if you get them a lot and take meds it may be a side effect of some med-or an after-effect of an antibiotic that burned all your good bacteria. Acidophilus and/or probiotics are supposed to put back the good stuff. Also heard a PH on the acid side keeps infection away-I read that years ago-my PH is acid just because of what I like to eat.

Been doing the probiotic thing for awhile, and my eating has been pretty rigid for awhile, too. Not sure why this is happening, but this time they took a second sample to test it and ensure I am on the right antibiotic.

By the way-your great rehearsal dinner dress looks best without the little jacket-the flowing lines are not broken-I’d leave the jacket off.

That is a mystery-maybe it is something in the diet itself upsetting your proper balance?

Glad she will be ok. Don’t hold it against the future SIL, she may have a good reason to refuse.

Lots of families have drama. We are blessed that we had none. The only drama we had was from the bridesmaids hosting the shower.
