Have you considered adding FG? It is actually effective for digestive issues and makes a difference in my IBS. Taking even a single FG (500mg) a day is enough for me to get relief. And it is not something that will negatively impact your NBE efforts in my experience. I take it together with the PM.

I'm definitely going to look into that. I've been taking Pantoprazole for acid reflux but it has very much improved my IBS as well. I think it causes less acid to go into my lower GI and thereby reduces irritation to my bowels but I've been omitting the Pantoprazole when taking PM because I have a thing about eating spoonfuls of pills. I'll probably have to take Pantoprazole for the reflux, AND FG for added bowel soothing but wouldn't it be great if FG could replace Pantoprazole all together? I'd be elated.

If you are worried about your kidneys... I suppose it's possible that PM is simply raising the flag on a latent issue in your body. If so, that would be very interesting to know.

Oh, don't say that ...That's been a nagging thought in the back of my mind for the last 24 hours. What if there are some underlying kidney problems that PM is highlighting? What a story that would be.

Thanks much sfem
