Hi all

I was advised to use Normacol which is a regulariser of the digestive/colon system and helps to form more regular stools-sprinkle a sachet or two on cereal in the mornings.An alternative natural approach might be a charcoal based supplement that acts as a bulking agent .Also drink lots of water I suggest.

Regards

John

Thank you again John for your prompt reply I will give this advice consideration

I have found that taking a probiotic daily has made a huge difference with fewer bouts of diarrhea. When I do have it, Imodium works for me.

Good luck!

Thanks very much for your reply
