Really? Hmmm... I've got the sort with spasms after I eat, and spasms at other times just for the heck of it. My doctor gave me something to take if I'm away from home, but said to just let nature take its course if I'm at home. As you probably know, I've been feeling increasingly more and more ill. Do you think this could be a factor? Aside from making sure I take my vitamins, is there anything else I should do?
I know you aren't a doctor, but you explain things much better than any of my doctors (except perhaps my beloved headache neurologist who's now gone with the exodus).
