Well hopefully it will help you Dave but if you begin to experience C.. by all means back off of it & let your Dr know. Yes..Sometimes some folks find it can slow things down too much.. so.. just watch yourself. You may be ok taking 3x's a day... but if that turns out to be too much.. let your Dr know and just back down the amount or follow any other instructions your Dr has for you. FWIW...I usually only take an antispasmodic with my largest meal of the day. BUT.. that's me. You need to find what works best for you.I wish you all the best with this!
