Welcome back! So nice to see your smiling face on the board again. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I have a young daughter that struggles with intestinal problems as well - gas, constipation and then diarrhea. The constipation bothers her most often. Her pediatrician states that Metamucil is not an effective stool softener/laxative - especially the sugar free kind. She has recommended mineral oil (3Tbsps and she's only 5 yo) every day. It has made a world of difference for her. We do use beano with her but prefer the liquid type. So easy to put a few drops on her food - it is tasteless - and it helps prevent the gassiness from her food.
Gas-X gel caplets are really small and very effective.
You mentioned about artificial sweeteners - some people have a very difficult time with them. I cannot chew sugar-free gum due to the instestinal gas/cramping that it causes. I also tend to stay away from artificially sweetened yogurt, juices etc.
Again, glad to hear from you. Don't be a stranger - you are among friends.
Hi Sally, I hope that things are still going well for you. I haven't seen a post from you lately, but I wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about you. Please let us know how you are doing. Luv and Hugs.
Sally -
I sure have missed hearing from you. I hope that you are doing well and that the snow is letting up. How are you feeling both physically and emotionally? I miss you and know that others do as well.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Way to go Sally! Everything in its time! We all have to do what's best for US. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of YOU first and everything else will fall into place! hugs, Diane
Sally, I am so glad to see that you are doing so well. You have the right outlook on this journey to a healthy life. Just remember what a very wise person once said, "The race is not given to the swift or to the strong, but to those who endure to the end." Keep enduring Sally. I look forward to seeing you at the end of your weight loss race.
