in reply to @gboi Thank you. I lift weights everyday so as not to lose muscle mass, and this has made a huge difference. I have a wellness visit coming up at the end of the month and will discuss with my doctor the product you described. Lately I have not been able to eat much of anything, or rather, everything goes right through me. I have 2 specialists telling me I need an endoscopy and colonoscopy, yet the gastro doctor does not think a colonoscopy is in order. Needless to say, I will go with the advice of the other two specialists in an effort to find out if there is something going on inside. I am also being referred to a new gastro doctor because I filed a complaint against the current one last year because of his unprofessional behavior. Not to mention the number of complaints I found on the California Medical Board website. Last year when I was in the ER, the ER doctor told me in confidence, "if I were you, I would never let that doctor touch you again." Go figure.
