It is for stomach problems. You have a bowel problem not a stomach problem.

They told me to try it and see if it would help. Basically, I was told that if I felt any burning (heartburn, etc.) to stop. I was gutsy (no pun intended:) and I tried it. At first it seemed to do nothing so I kept trying it...after a few weeks I felt terrible and had many new pains in my stomach. I did not think it was for me and didn't want to continue risking more problems, so I gave it up. To me this was similar to the idea of trying apple cider vinegar with meals...It is based on low stomach acid as Syl mentioned. I got the impression that some doctors don't know exactly what to do so they give you things to "try." I'm not to inclined to do that anymore. -------------------- IBS-D.
