Thanks for your thoughtful response. I really do appreciate it.

What is Christopher's bowel cleanse? What does it entail?

Also, it is very encouraging to hear that you also had IBS and overcame it. Can you describe symptoms etc that you had?

Lastly, I just wanted to ask you something about IF 1. I received it in March 2002. And the bottle has " 020131 " stamped on it. That must be the expiry date! How could they send me something that had already expired. Or am I mistaken about something? It's very bothersome if it has expired because I live about 7000 miles away.

Thanks
