First off thank you for so much wonderful information. I've been battling candida for 6 mo. now and I've just started trying to become more alkaline. My question has to do with taking the probiotics and the alkalizing drink. I like to have the drink first thing in the morning to help give me the energy to face the day. But I know you recommend an 8 oz. glass of water and then the probiotics with skim milk first thing. So I'm wondering how long after taking the probiotcs should I wait before having the drink or does it matter? I also take the probiotics before each meal, but do I need to take them before breakfast which is only an hour or two after the first dose of the morning?
