Needhelp, I usually take the same amount as you sometimes even moreduring a day when it doesnt feel like it is stopping. I usually once a week give myself a day to clean as well. But I have been taking acidophilus (sp) and this has worked wonders. I have been taking it about 3-4 weeks now. I have seen a huge change. I still try to watch what I eat to make sure. Also I get that panic attack type thing too still, like if we are going to be on scene an extended period of time I freak out looking for restroom even if I dont need to go I fool myself into it. But the Acidophilus has helped tremendously. (You can usually get it at most health stores I get my from a place called shaklee online. if you want I can send you the link where I get it from (MODS if thats ok I dont sell it, its just where I get it from)Michael
