My wife and I have tried this remedy from quite different reasons. While my wife is suffering often with a distended abdomen, it is with me, after a major abdominal surgery, come to considerable discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract (adhesions, PNP). Both my wife and me, the symptoms are alleviated. Especially with my contractions in the intestine have become considerably less. Now we are no doctors to say more accurate, but are of the opinion that it may not be wrong to use Colon Ex. Since the ingredients are biologically, can inflict less damage at home. Ua we have been, for example, psyllium often recommended. Personally, I have a problem with it to get the seeds down, so would appear that this capsule form already quite contrary. Why only four stars? Tell I would Colon-Ex definitely, but I still needed a little more awareness of the ingredients and their individual effect.
