Yes, the Kolorex tea is great after meals. I love how it has a bite to it - like tannins but not.
I hadn't heard of people who had mumps as an adult being more susceptible to thrush. What a strange and awful thing. It sounds like you're taking very good care. The only thing I might suggest you contemplate is the high sugar in beet juice. Maybe there is a green vegetable juice or other green drink you could substitute for beet?
Keep up the great work. It sounds like you have an excellent attitude and are very tuned in to how your diet and therapeutic choices affect you.
