Dr. Diana,
Are you saying that it works for the diarrhea also? I don’t get constipated, even on pain meds, but suffer daily with the diarrhea. Sometimes I get a break from it and am just “normal” for a couple of days before going back to the diarrhea again. I have also noticed that the worse my hyper POTS symptoms are, the worse the diarrhea is.

Also, my twin 12 y.o.’s suffer from chronic constipation, but not much belly pain with it. We have tried dietary changes without any change, tested for celiac/wheat intolerance, they are fine, etc. They go days without going and then get tears and blood when they go, etc. Doctor keeps saying just keep giving them laxatives (Miralax) but this has been going on for 4+ years. I tried increasing vit C and it just gave them diarrhea. So wondering if they would be candidates or not? (They are unoffically HEDS, based on me having HEDS. They have as many or more signs as I do.)
