Re: So...honey when are you due?/distended stomach!From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Feb 19 22:18:31 2004
Hi, Yes stomach problems were a major! issue, but free from that part of endo. It really worked for me & also for my friend who has been constipated/bloated for many years(has endo & fibroids & had every imaginable test done thru med. drs. who could not find any source of her IBS problems)-I suggested it to her & she now feels great in that department. The 1st few weeks you will have so many bowel movements that you may get real tired of it, but would suggest continuing thru & later cutting down to where you go 1-2 times a day(see how much works for you after the initial cleaning out)really I do not have any more bloating... it seems to all be related to the digestive system not working properly because of the endo/hormones/immune system all getting out of balance. Let us know if it works.
