(Is there a smiley for smacking onself upside the head? ) I didn't even make the connection. How much of it do you take? I use the EPS formula (Enhanced Probiotic System).

I take 2 every night -- at midnight when my tummy's empty.

When I get gas, I'm laying on my left side and breathing like I'm about to give birth!

What comfort to know that there are other people out there with IBS! Anyway, I haven't seen any mention of lemon balm (melissa officinalis)- it helps me more than anything else with my gas and bloating. I use 1-2 tsp per cup of water and let it steep 5-10 minutes (longer and it gets a little bitter). Hope this helps!

I believe it's related to mint, and is also anti-spasmodic and anti-viral. Just do a google search and you'll get tons of hits. It honestly works wonders!

They're looking getting me a deal on a bulk quantity because I go through so much! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all)
