    Advice on being brave for colonoscopy?

    Wow... sounds like a lot of you had bad experiences with the colonoscopies. Mine went without incident. The only needle they used was for the IV insertion. Slight pain but then again I'm not bothered by needles. It would be bad for me if I were bothered by them as it seems every time I visit the...

    Supplements - What do you Take?

    Multi-vitamin, fish oil, green tea capsules (EGCG), calcium, jack3d (pre-workout supplement), protein powder. I also have some enteric-coated peppermint capsules on the way.

    Mild Exercise

    I don't really suffer from any joint pain. I do occasionally get rather nasty soreness from time to time but my workouts are fairly intense. I've scaled down the weight lifting over the last couple of years due to the lack of energy. I I now take a pre-workout supplement (jack3d) that gives me...

    Anyone else from Ohio?

    Ahhh... I miss Ohio very much. Lived there for 25 years, Dayton for 17 and Columbus for the rest. Graduated from OSU not too long ago.

    Are there any sugar and sugar-alcohol free (sorbitol, xylitol, aspartame, sucralose, whatever else) candies, mints, or gum out there? I've searched for hours on end and have found nothing of the sort. I have an oral fixation from my smoking days, plus I get mild anxiety when I think my breath...

    My story... and a question

    Thanks for the welcome. It has been a tough ride to get to this point but I'm glad we almost have it nailed. I've been searching online for types of gum but all I can find are stuff with either sorbitol or xylitol in it. I've been reading that I should avoid both. Though xylitol does appear to...

    My story... and a question

    I've been suffering from diarrhea, bloating, and cramps for around 7 years now, with it gradually getting worse. This is not counting the time when I genuinely believe I was simply lactose intolerant (most of my life). At first I thought it was related to being lactose intolerant, then I started...
