Jamie:Same here, my magic potion was/is:AcidophilusAloe vera gel -non laxative-soothing agentRecently added slippery elm to compliment the aloeInitially took 2/3 times the recommended dosage, for the 1st month - cut back to recomended dosage.Also exercise/restricted diet - however, i pay dearly if i do not monitor my food intake.Curious as to how many people have tried the above over and extended period of time!!!!I was combination c/d, sleeplessness, pain on my left side, fatigue bordering on exhaustion, conastant weak sick feeling.Nothing like a little discipline.Bill
