Do you guys deal with any stomach problems like excessive gas, stomach discomfort, one day your stool is soft then Constipated? My main issue is the gas. I sometimes feel it on my chest and feels like i cant breathe sometimes.

I highly recommend a verified probiotic. Purchase them from a herbal supplement store and quiz the people that work there to ensure they are educated about what they are selling. Eat a healthy diet. Stay away from "dead" foods. These are highly processed and most of the nutrition has been removed. Lots of fruits and veggies is it. This should also provide you with enough fiber to keep you regular as a lot of meds can bind you up. Eat complete proteins from different sources. Drink plenty of water. Stay away from gluten. Do not drink alcohol. A healthy diet w/exercise will help your body unleash it's healing mechanisms. Yes we are sick but we can control what level of nutrition we put into our bodies. Our bodies operate on principles chemistry which are constant. Give it what it "needs" to work optimally so there is no additional conflict. Help your body help itself to fight. Do not let this disease define you!

Yes I have all of these issues. I take a pro biotic which really helps keep things moving along and cuts down on a lot of stomach discomfort. I hope I have helped you. God bless you

Yes, Apple cider vinegar every day with Manuka Honey works for me.

All the time..... between the medications, stress and overall inflammation. I found that the natural marshmallow helped.
