Thanks everybody. I appreciate all the info.

WZ, I'm curious to know what type of withdrawal symptoms you had, because Heather has also been trying to get off the oxycontin. We were just told today that besides the danger of addiction, it also causes your bowels to shut down and you can get severe constipation, which causes all kinds of problems. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time.

Brian, I re-read the candida section and I do know that saltines provide no nutrients. And we will avoid them now anyway since they are a white flour product. (Thanks, Eileen.) But, how is a person to get nutrients if they throw up almost every time they eat? It doesn't matter what she eats, or whether it is taken by tube or by mouth, most of it comes back up. We only tried the saltines because that is the old standby food for nausea. If anyone has any other ideas, we are open to all suggestions.
