Yes, I have had 20 years of contant abdominal extension. I do get hungry, my bm are ok, and I don't always feel full.
The pain has gone away. It seemed to make the distention worse for a few days and I ate less, but now I am back to where I was before. I am not sure if I'll try it again. Perhaps I will try a tablespoon at a time instead of 1 + half ounces.
