Nope, you're the first one to express an interest. I'd be glad to send them to you so you can give them a try! I hope they work for you. Just drop me an e-mail with your address and I'll send them on their way.
Oh, and I hope your last 2 exams went well! (I think you had 2 left...)

Hi Bev, it depends when he gets a bad attack of his diverticulitis, it is pretty severe and they usually put him on Flagyl and Levaquin and he ususally has diarrhea the entire time and a fever and has to miss work, last time they gave him Augmentin XL, which just about killed him, after two days he quit taking it, one of the worst side effects from it is Diarrhea.....duh, he fortunate he doesn't like nuts, seeds, and the stuff that you are supposed to stay away from. Hope this helps Cheyrl

Hi; I have trouble with the pep caps ass well, even though they are coated I can't handle them either.

Wow, Kree, that was very generous and thoughtful of you!
I'm so sorry the peppermint caps upset your reflux Does peppermint tea do the same...or just the caps?
Hope you're having a super weekend!!

Thanks, Ruchie! I just hate to see things go to waste.
It's funny, peppermint tea doesn't bother me at all. Granted, I just drink Celestial Seasonings tea, not Heather's, so it doesn't have nearly as much peppermint oil in it. But I actually never even had problems with acid reflux before, the caps just really brought it on. Weird, huh? I guess I'm not the only one who's bothered by them, though.
I am having a great weekend, and I hope you are too!
Hugs, Kree

I'm the same way. Never had reflux until I started on these pep caps, in fact didn't have it when I was on another brand. I'm going to take the 2 different brands and cut into to see just how thick the enteric coating is. That may be were the problem lays. Then I will also test the 2 on myself again and see if I can take one and not the other or is it just that they are both going against me now. I'll let everyone know. Kandee

Melissa, how did the 3 Tablespoons of Acacia sit with you? I'm up to 2 T also, and also not having the results, just like you. Did you go up to 3 T and did it help? If not, what is your solution? Did you switch back or what dose Acacia finally worked?
Thanks!

Believe it or not, I only take about 2 tsp in my cereal every day. I do add Acacia to my baked goods, so I don't have an accurate count of how much I eat per day, but I seriously doubt it's much more. I add about 1 T to a bread or so, so if I'm only eating a piece, I'm sure the amount I'm getting is very little from baked goods.
Don't know if that helps or not....

You went backwards? Why? Did you ever try the 3 Tablespoons?
How the heck did you find out that less was better for you?

what did happen when you went to 3 T? How did you decide to go down so drastically? I'm confused.
Maybe I should try dropping my dosage intead of trying to go higher.
Are you a C or a D?
Thanks
