I received some 500mg mastic gum capsules from Amazon on Monday.
What a weird experience I have had!
First off...they taste weird (kind of like pine) and are large and were hard to choke down.
I've been taking one in the morning and one in the early evening.
My pain level is WAY down. I was constantly cramping before taking this supplement. Now, that has stopped. As a matter of fact, it stopped after the first dose.
My number of trips to the bathroom have decreased. I *almost* got to sleep through the night last night.
BUT, there is a problem.
I go from feeling fine to having explosive D in about 5 seconds. This is not long enough to get to the bathroom. For the first time in my 5 year UC history, I have made a mess of myself. (twice today) It's pretty much like I cannot feel the signals my gut is giving me until it's way too late.
Tonight I am going to skip the mastic gum and try Immodium.
