I am only taking acacia now.
But last year over the summer I took the Intestinal Formula #1 (the stimulant laxatives) every day for two months, and the Intestinal Formula #2 (the stuff with bentonite clay) for a few days with it. I thought I was doing myself a world of good but I guess not. I was having some minor digestive issues going on before I took them (occassional minor constipation, occasional excessive and/or trapped gas)..... then while I took them I felt better for awhile... then I started feeling more and more awful (namely, terribly painful, excessive, and constant gas, and diarrhea) so I quit taking them.
Ever since, I've had this weird incomplete evacuation thing going on, and gas, gas, gas. It's like I just can't completely go back to normal. The most relief I've gotten - and I know we don't see eye to eye on this - is from following a low-carb no-sugar antifungal diet and taking antifungal supplements. But I'm wondering (and WORRYING ) if the Intestinal Formulas, particularly the laxatives, have done permanent harm. My G.I. doesn't think so.....
What do you think, Shawneric?
