Well thank you. Where do you get the shakes? I've spent hundreds of dollars on supplements not to mention perscription medications. Some have worked and I thought it was a miracle but the effects didnt last long. The longest I let myself go was almost 3 weeks. Now when the 1 week mark hits I try to intervene. I take stool softeners every night though. But the laxatives aren't even making me cramp right now. I just feel full and bloated. I can't wait to see the GI specialist so maybe I'll get some help. Thankfully my son was okay.
