Summary: Essential Digestive Supplement #1
Comment: I suffer from a digestive disorder called crohn's disease (that is symptomatic of inflammation of the gut from the mouth to the anus), and as you could immagine it comes with all sorts of discomforting problems. I started using this product a few weeks ago, and I can't really say that I have noticed a benefit right now because I was in remmission and unsymptomatic before I started taking it, but I remain stable. The benifits are amazing. I just hope this will help my body find and remain in a stable state. From what I've read in the literature this product can only help.
Here is some basic information I found online:
