Notes: Pita is experiencing much less stomach grumbling and no GI bad episodes with the addition of Wei Ling Tang. Her ALP levels are decreased on the Si Miao San which she has been on since June 2014. It also seems to help with the side effects of the prednisone she is currently on. Her blood glucose levels are higher since the addition of Wei Ling Tang. They currently run around 4 mmol/L
