No, at present I'm not taking any herbs. I've heard cat's claw can be of help, but again I also find that I tend to react very badly to certain products and sometimes the reaction can last weeks.

I'm not sure at the moment if I want to take any new products. I have reacted very badly to a probiotic in recent months and since then, my condition has been more difficult. So even stuff that works well for others and benefits them, can adversely affect me.

I'm not sure why, but it could be combinations with whatever possible potent bacteria I have sitting in my mouth which makes reactions at times, quite violent. E.g. a garlic supplement sent me into the emergency with agonising gut cramps, yet there was nothing they could do to help. It took 6-7 months to recover. Then it happened again, because I didn't believe it could be the garlic afterall. So i stupidly repeated the incident. I had to go through it all over again. Yet I can handle "some" garlic in natural food form.

This is why I'm wary of trying other products. I never know what is going to happen. Again, this was NEVER once the case before these things came onboard.

Thank you for your suggestion though.
