Hi Terry
Note your problems and sympathize with you.
Firstly, I must say that I am not a healthcare professional nor a medical person but have good knowledge of the digestive disorders. You should consult your competent healthcare professional or doctor.
Have you considered probiotics?? Not just "freeze dried" powder or tablet as living organism cannot survive freeze drying. Also yoghurt of weak solutions with one or two strains are no good. Probiotics with 100% live bacteria in quality and quantity is important and must be multi-strained. I know of one with 12 strains so that different bacteria can get to work effectively at both the small and large (colon-bowel) intestines. More effective than most remedies and create healthy system.
