@heavyphil And watch that Senna - it WILL cause gas and bloating

Been taking 3 senna twice a day for a few years. Never had a problem with gas or bloating. Is something else I am taking alleviating that?

Probably not a frequent Side effect .

Jeff, way back when you first started taking it, you might have had gas and not even noticed it enough to raise suspicion. Like most things that stimulate the GI tract, continued use alleviates a lot of the side effects.
I think because it was the very first time I had ever taken it, my nerve endings went “Whoa!”…just my guess.
