For those of us trying to eat right who have stomach problems, it is sometimes hard to find green vegi's and good fruits that are easy on the stomach.

As someone who's had IBS in varying degrees for 35 years, I know what you're talking about. Taking a good probiotics formula

When iit's bad, you're life can sure revolve around the problem. I can remember many very uncomfortable days running across a large atrium to get from my office to the restroom in time back in the 80's. Here's some info. on probiotics:

Ginger, saltine crackers and starches are soothing to my stomach, too, as well as is milk.

Probiotics help heal and soothe your stomach. Yogurt with active cultures can help somewhat, but you need a much higher concentration of them

Well I found a listing of both Alkaline and Acidic foods and neither list seems to be an all or nothing for me.
