Organization: Acadia University As to the ginger suggestion, I took up this idea after I saw it posted on this list. I bought some capsules containing powdered ginger from the health food store and my husband takes on a day. He used to be plagued by excessive gas, but the ginger has really made a difference.

Schark" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Meals and LS Alan, Came across something in my new diet/supplement regimen that might be useful to you and others with on/off problems after meals. I noticed that I was not "off" as often or as severely after eating, and when I questioned my doctor, she said it was probably because of Formula 115, a mixture of pancreatin, papain, ox bile, and cellulase (sounds yucky, doesn't it?). It's a digestive aid, and it stands to reason that something that makes digestion more efficient would also deliver medication more efficiently. It might be worth a try. I get my supply from her, but you could inquire at a health food store. I also ran your "ginger" suggestion by her and she agreed that it could be helpful. She suggested just using a dash in whatever I was cooking up. Now, if I could only get rid of my distonia.... Regards, Pat
