Thank you!!!!!!!!!!  It is really helping.  I am down to 1-2 BMs a day and more formed than ever.  And the wafers don't taste so bad either.  Thank you to whoever you are, now I am going to try the spinach and sunflower seeds too.

It was me! along with many others on here. I love them- they have made such a huge difference. I am about to break open my breakfast packet right now! Hope it continues for you.

How many wafers do you all eat a day? Does it give you gas?

I only eat one package a day.  I don't really find it gives me gas.  I usually eat them for breakfast.  I guess they may give me some gas, but I can't tell, I have to take the Rowasa enema every night anyway and that gives me gas in the AM, so I really can't tell what is causing it, but it is no worse than it was b4 I started the wafers.

one package a day for me too, & I don't notice any increase in gas at all. If anything, it may be less gas!

not sure if this is a bit OT, but how long do you try something new for. always supposing that there hasn't been a significant change to you symptoms?

If you need to know, I've learned the wafers have gluten, but the capsules and powder do not.
