I tried it!! Double yuck!! And I didn't notice any benefit, but to be fair I didn't give it a lot of time. The taste was horrid. I also tried Slippery Elm but didn't notice any benefit either....

I never had a problem while I was drinking. Obviously, I would stay away from alcohol during a flare, but all those other times I drank. And I drank copiously! Everybody's different. Enjoy a drink or...

How often do you get a colonoscopy?
