The more I eat

[Guest guest]

Dr. Herrons PA Dianne, just told be this week (3month check), that

many BPD patients, seem to have some bowel and stomach distress. For

myself...ONCE a day, morning, normal. Feel unbelievably good...ZERO

problems. I eat EVERYTHING, but lesser amounts, no carbonated sodas,

minimal booze, stay hydrated, take all my vitamins...

The more I eat, the more I loose. The more I eat, the more I feel

great, The more I eat, the better the sex...oopps.
