Well, not quite natural calm (i have to order some, Whole Foods doesn't carry it ), but generic magnesium sulfide. It is going really good, my gas reduced quite a bit! And i feel better too
About the SF, Heather explains, that it makes a film in the gut, that allows us to take more IF. IF is what makes us go, so D people are probably very sensitive to it and have to take SF to buffer it (make the film around it) so it doesn't make them D. Some C-ers need it a lot more, because C-ers should generally be having a lot of (more than D-ers) IF, so if you are a C-er very sensitive to IF, you take lots of SF. I am probably not as sensitive to IF thus could stabilize (if I am stable) at 1 tbsp.
Personally, I am not quite sure it's just the SF, I think it's also the starchy part that's soothing to the gut, but you can't add any starch as easily and as taste-lessly as you can add acacia
How have you been? Apart from the messy stools, have you been feelng OK? Bloating? Pain? Gas?
