"I haven’t been taking this long. It makes my stomach hurt so bad, but the doctor says it’s normal and will go away. My biggest complaint is this powder is almost impossible for me to drink and tolerate without wanting to throw it back up. The best thing I’ve found that has made a huge difference is taking it with Country Time pink lemonade. The powder is so gritty that it feels like you’re drinking sand, and the powder is nasty. But I noticed a huge difference from taking it with water, applesauce, and tea compared to the lemonade."

For Hyperlipoproteinemia "Mix it with Tang, it makes it much easier to drink. All you get is Tang and a little grittiness. I am experiencing an inability to overeat and some resultant weight loss. I have been on it for about a month."

For Crohn's Disease "I have been taking this for three months along with Canasa suppositories with huge success. I have had extreme IBS with bleeding colon ulcers. I would be hit with sudden extreme diarrhea 20 minutes after eating anything. Sometimes I'd be hit not eating anything. Fasting was a sure way of having problems. These medicines are the first thing to work in over 10 years of suffering."
