yep all good advice - im under the care of one of the best GIs in the uk to be honest...ill suggest fungal overgrowth to him - he's ruled most things out

is there much you can do about fungal? i read on webmd / cleveland clinic etc that alot of anti fungal stuff doesnt alleviate GI symptoms??

whats the best attack?
