Thanks for the info Echinacea - in that case that is not the same symptoms that I have (must be IBS!) Sorry to hear that you reacted badly to HRT; worth trying a different type/brand maybe?
Honeybun I was interested to read about Jan de Vries' bowel essence, never heard of that before - might give it a try as I'm on an IBS flare-up at the moment....dragging me down.
Best wishes, ER x
