RE: light-colored and floating stools

March 14, 2006

That's interesting about the HCL. My doctor is convinced I need that, and

yet I'm so intolerant of it. Meaning, I have intense burning when I take it.

He had a special pharmacy work up a 5mg tablet, and I was still really

struggling with burning (on the lining of my stomach). So, we cut it down to

a quarter of a pill, and I do ok with that, twice a day. But I highly doubt

it has much impact with it being such a low dose.

I don't know what my blood type is. :-)
