I can't argue with you there - definitely have been able to use things at a later time when I could not the first time I tried, so I know what you mean by that, so I try never to write off anything permanently.
It is possible that my bloat, etc, was actually a good thing in the making, but I don't think so. I did not get relief from any symptoms along with the bloat (but that being said, I am investigating another cause of some symptoms - iron overload - and if it turns out I do have that (it is genetic, can cause fatigue, memory loss, gastric upset, joint pain, and a bunch of other things I may have been erroneously assuming were liver related) then I will try the Florastor again, but I have enough left in my open bottle to do that, so I can send the unopened to you. Just e-mail me and let me know where to send it.
