I agree with your thoughts, 3/day seems like alot to me. I was told by my GI to only take 1 when I absolutely have to (special occasion/travel). I have taken 1 on a few occasions and it worked. I can...
I had resection (not lapro), and was back at work in two weeks. I have any easy desk job, no physical labor. I was still healing of course, but I could sit at work as well as on my couch. It's 5...

My inflammation is in TI small intestine, so my doctor informed me that I would not absorb enough iron from food to raise my levels. I get iron infusions every 6-8 months, they work great. Maybe you...

I just had surgery two weeks ago, it could not be done lapro. I was hoping, but the surgeon said it is still much more common to cut you open, because they usually aren't completely sure how much and...
I'm a big fan of questran, i highly recommend it. It was a wonder drug for me, gave me normalish BM's once every morning. Until I got a narrowing in my small intestine and was forced to stop taking...
