In my last blog I wrote my observation that wheat makes me gain weight, and dairy irritates my stomach. While I wrote that blog, I was at my computer burping and wishing I had not indulged in a cup of eggnog two days in a row.

After I posted the blog, I took two bladderwrack and went to bed. I knew my chances of waking in the night with an upset stomach were pretty high. To my delight, I slept through the night and woke the next morning feeling great.

Bladderwrack is one of the main ingredients in Deflect for Type Os. I've never tried Deflect. I figure that if I don't eat avoids, I don't need a supplement to counter act the effects of lectins. I still think that is the philosophy that will do me the most good in the long run, but it is nice to know that 2 bladderwrack will give me relief the next time I'm trapped into eating dairy, or the next time I yield to holiday traditions.
