[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 609171, member: 1233"] The bacteria in yogurt is the acidophilus I mentioned. It can be any of the yogurts that has live/active cultures. It doesn't have to be the ones specially marketed for tummy troubles. That is a HUGE money maker because they charge so much more for the yogurts but actually any yogurt will do. Plain is actually best, but flavored will work. Pumpkin IS helpful. Pumpkin bread will help some, but not as much as other things made with pumpkin. If possible, buying canned pumpkin and not the canned pie filling is far more helpful. The canned pumpkin pie filling is not nearly as helpful because of the sugar and other things. I make pumpkin pie filling and rather than pouring it into a crust, I put it in a baking dish. I mix a yellow cake mix with a stick of melted butter and put that on top of the filling. I bake a 9X13 pan with two fo the big cans of pumpkin made into filling for about an hour, until the toothpick comes out clean. It is a lot easier than pie crust and tastes wonderful. Plus the pumpkin is super helpful. Ginger also helps the tummy. Just cut the fresh ginger root into thin slices and steep in water with or with-o a tea bag. Or try capsules from the vitamin aisle but they don't work as well. Ginger candy is more effective than the capsules, in my opinion. Make sure it has real ginger, like ginger altoids or hard candy like "gingies". Herbal tea helps also. This will sound super odd, but catnip tea might do amazing things. I gave it to thank you when he had colic as an infant and it worked far better than anything else we tried. I have recommended it to lots of people, and once they try it, every one says it is incredible. I have used ti when my stomach is out of whack and it helps a TON. [/QUOTE]
