>What is Acidopholis? I have been
on quite a strict diet but been
having trouble with my stomach with
even rice. I still haven't had a biopsy
taken. I guess I am nervous about having
one. I have real bad balance problems
and don't like to be put out cause I
get vertigo when I lay down to long.
I want my Dr. to find out whats causing
the balance problems first but he
hasn't yet.
