Hey sweet britches!

[lol]

Thought I'd help you out. Just put up a sign outside your place. It says...

For Sale

Clothes pins.

[lol]

No nice way to ask... but is everything else going... and I do mean GOING... ok?

You can become stopped up... so do be aware.

And I think I'll stop here.

Done!

CSM didn't do that for me, but... there are different versions of it.

Some have sugar added, some have aspartame, and some have stevia.

If you have the one with sugar, you might have yeast flare ups due to it (if this is an issue for you).

I'd probably get the one with stevia because thats the safest. Aspartame is bad business, and you'll be taking a lot of it with the CSM if you have that version....

This container has sucrose.

Posted by UnexpectedIlls (Member # 15144) on :

I only take a teaspoon a day, but find I get kind of "backed up" if you will....

Taking my dose right now

Posted by asus (Member # 13881) on :

Sucrose is sugar. Try to get the version with stevia...

I got mine at Hopkinton Drug, a compounding pharmacy in MA.

They shipped it to me after my Dr. sent the script to them.

You may be able to get a local compounding pharmacy to make it for you though.

You obviously also want to run it by your Dr. in case your symptoms are due to something else, but the sucrose might be it so its worth asking about.
