just a little question for those of us out here at the 4yr mark....

[Guest guest]

what the heck is up with the supplement problems?

THe Calcium makes me constipated.

The Iron and Vit C makes me get the STINKY dark runs from hell.

Food gives me GAS pain and sometimes I can get it outta there,

sometimes not. So I take a little gasX that seems to work SOMETIMES

and sometimes not.

So...consequently...I get the Constipated, Stinky, Dark, runs full of

GAS all the time!! I never know what to expect each time I visit the

bathroom.

sigh. I take Prilosec every day or I would have to eat a million

tums or malox to deal with the massive heartburn.

Yesterday, I started taking one of those supplements that gives you

billions of micro organisms that one would get from milk and yogurt.

Hopefully that will help a bit. (I hate yogurt ever since my first

three months after the GRDS surgery!) The problem I see with that

pill....the coating resists stomach acid....so how is it letting

those organisms outta that pill if my stomach acid isnt getting the

cover off???? LOL!!

Any advise here guys and gals in the know?

(p.s. my labs from May were faxed to the office in July. It took me

months to get them from the navy docs to give me a copy so I could

fax them to Delano MYSELF. I guess I am ok since not one person in

Delano has called me back.)
