>>I have long noticed that foods or herbs which aid digestion are the best galactogogues. Earl Mindell recommends anise, dill and caraway. Oatstraw is high in magnesium and calcium.<< Ok, just for the fun of it..... did anyone know that in cows, intake of roughage is related to the cream content of the milk? More roughage, better milk. I don't remember if volume was also improved. Now, we don't have four stomachs like a ruminant, but I have wondered about that roughage relationship for humans; oatmeal would certainly fit in. Relatedly, fenugreek is also supposed to aid digestion. I suppose this is why it may cause diarrhea in some babies? Also note that reglan and domperidone also affect the stomach. I'm still wondering what the underlying tie is between all these galactogogues; being related to stomach issues certainly is a common factor, but what is ultimately being affected? We gotta solve this mystery. ~Lisa Marasco *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
