Hi. I learned that fresh papaya normalizes the stomach. You will not be constipated or have the runs. Eat a serving daily, and see what happens. Maybe two servings. Be sure to eat it regularly. It may take a few weeks before you see you have a normal stomach again. Long story about papaya, but it saved my mom. Also, I have two moderately priced CBD products that I swear by. One is a salve rubbed into the feet, and the other is drops for under the tongue. My toe pain is so severe at times....and parts of feet. Anyway, illness is horrid. God bless. Lori Renee
