Hi Lee,
Just wondered, have you tried Magnesium, or B vitamins for your slow gut motility? Dr Diana has a video on Magnesium, if you want a place to start.

Hello Barbara,
Thanks for your reply. I have seen that video and I used to take many vitamins and minerals years ago. They did help at that time but seemed to lose their punch after a while. Now I only use magnesium as in milk of mag when I get desperate. It’s interesting that you mentioned the B vitamins, as I have been studying them the last few weeks. Thiamine in particular. The list of deficiency symptoms for the various B’s is astounding. Maybe they are worth another try. I appreciate your suggestion. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you MJ. I’ve been browsing for a while and it has been so interesting. Still hoping someone will chime in with an answer, or a theory on my original post. Have a great day! 🙂
