I have heard that wheatgrass is very good for keeping blood sugar levels down as well as a host of other health benefits. Does anyone use wheatgrass? If so, is it really any good and in what form do you take it. Thanks in advance [emoji6]

Hi Mep - thanks for the reply [emoji106] Yes the doctor gave me the same dose of the same antibiotic second time around. I just know that I still have the infection- I am just not myself. With my bowels I would normally go at least once a day but since I got this kidney infection I would go...
