Thanks, Brien. Your blog is not only very readable and personal, but it has good information for others facing transplants.

Your description of the low microbial diet was wonderful. It reminds me of when my wife was on that diet and we learned how to be careful, and how to put up with a lot of canned food, which is naturally safe from the canning process. Even years later, back on a normal diet, we still have the habits we learned about food safety.
