For everyone suffering, there is a lot of research to help but please be careful and observant with what you try. I've tried Western med, homeopathy & Ayurveda since 2012. Ayurveda works for me,1st Canadian winter with no major flares!

Gloria - How can I buy it or where can I find it

Today is my 39th Bday, was a lovely weekend with family. Had cake & other goodies, but I am making a pact with myself. 39 will be a time to shine 🌞 No more going off track with food. Flare ups take too long to get under control. Not worth it for me.
