So, for a protein supplement: I should look for a good quality whey protein powder with low carb and low sugar content....
I find it hard to add enough calories without eating too much sugary treats. I certainly get enough carbs thru bread&pasta. I believe adding more protein is a more healthy way to gain some weight,...
I'm thinking about adding a protein powder supplement to help keep my weight stable or even add a few pounds. I'm a veggie so getting alot of protein can be difficult. From my research the 2 kinds of...
man oh man, 5ASA medication ought to come with a warning label about the purple speckles :wink:...

thanks Quincy&songlady, after my sig scope in April my doctor told me my rectum looked good. Actually, he said I could stop using the Salofalk supp if I wanted save $$$$$............BUT I am still...
First off, I have no drug plan and the Salofalk enemas are more costly. I've inferred from my research here that the oral Salofalk (at my dosage..5 weeks in) will help maintain the inflammation and...
Yeah, I read somewhere else that oral Salofalk can take up to 4 months on average to see solid results...
