Im not taking nearly enought that you recommended, I feel like I could use more . As for the MSM, I read it puts a teflon coating on your stomach lining and helps create new cells, perhaps its just the coating thats making me feeling better and not healing or maybe it is healing? I know that once I went off of it for awhile and I slowly started to feel worse and worse again. Could be the coating being stripped away. In the beginning I'm always constipated for qiute sometime, then as my digestion gets better, it very slowly improves and goes away. Do you think L-glutamine wuold be better then ?
