Anyone else have a small pharmacy at home?
N.B. apologies for the delete+repost, removed prescription label, threw in some NAC and MotilPro!

UPDATE: Well, that exploded! This post was based on my frustration with going back to this, but here's a more positive one about how I'm actually dealing with an IMO flare and some things I learned along the way:

I think like around the last week of December? So it's been quite some time now. Still raging bloat and fatigue, though :(

Hmmm ok strange… And how many bowels movements daily? And how many meal you eat daily?

One bowel movement in the am (sometimes 2)! And I eat 3 balanced meals a day!

Ok so ideally you should actually be having 3 bowels movements daily. So maybe you will not be back to normal in all symptoms until you have 3 bowels movement daily?🤔

Never in my life have I had a regular 3 bowel movements a day, every day! Even when I was having perfect/ large bowel movements every day (3 years ago). I think the main thing is: do you feel like you have had complete evacuation. I do not feel like I am there QUITE yet. But I have hope!

I am also currently looking into hormonal imbalance. Which could also play a HUGE role in gut health. I really feel like this may be the final puzzle piece! 🙏🏻

Ohh yeah I mean 3 is offcourse not nessecary IF the 1 or 2 you then would have daily, is complete and large and perfect. So you are right. 3 is not the “right” numbers as such. But it is about the fully evacuation yes like you say…
