How would these ingredients effect gut flora?

[SillyMommy]

I used gripe water with my other babies but I knew NOTHING about protecting the gut. I'm thinking that fructose and glycerin are not things I want to put in my baby's tummy... am I right?

I've given her the Hyland's liquid Camilia twice and that seemed to help some with the gas.

Agave is a pretty processed sugar and the pom juice seems like more unnecessary sugar. Glycerin is another sugar and citric acid can be corn. I would be more comfortable making a little ginger, fennel, and chamomile tea at home where the ingredients are controlled.

That's what my sister suggested, making my own tea.

It's very easy. I made a little cup every 2-3 days and refrigerated it. Fennel and ginger worked the best for is, but I sometimes added dill seed, too.

Ok, so loose leaf at the hfs?

[milkdud]

Sure. Some things I got from my spice cabinet, too. Jic you dint see them in the bulk area. :)
