Thanks so much, dbmom!

Hi Randi, that would be a salted or brined pickle-homemade ones like the ones i make are vinegar based but I still make them anyway because I like pickles.

That is have no idea

I don't remember them making a probiotic, there's many other vitamin companies such as "Mary Ruth's Organics" that do.

Oh my goodness, Randi, what a rough part of life! Thank you for the additional information and your experience.
