Re: P&B Questions?

Ummm, I really think you need to see a doctor. Whatever your fears you have about going to a doctor need to be faced. What did you mean when you said, "The bleeding has continued?" As in, with every bowel movement or as in, even when you're not going to the bathroom? Which ever one, I really think you should consult a professional. That can be really serious. You can have an ulcer or a tumor. I don't want to scare you. Well, if it gets you to the doctor I guess I do. :o) Seriously, you should REALLY think about it.

As for the shakes, well, I do them with half a cup of juice. There's something in juices (the sugar, maybe?) that prevents the pysllium from clumping and actually evenly spread throughout. I tried it with water (barely made that down) and then with lemonade (which didn't work, either). Juice works best for me.
