You know, it's funny you say that -- i was experiencing that for awhile.
I thought maybe I was beginning to have some kind of bladder infection
and I was wondering how on earth I would have cuased that. But now I
know that maybe it was from piccolinate.
I have been taking piccolinate soemtimes only b/c it's REALLY HARD
sometimes to find GTF. ANd sometiems you look on back of GTF label and
it says it's piccolinate anyway!! So hmm. Could be the pic. But I'll
tell you, not only does it not happen anymore (and I still do take some
of my chrom. in pic. form) I don't think it happens when I am doing
GTF more instead.
