Title: Any Kudzuers besides me...uh... gassy?
Post by clarence on Mar 13^th, 2005, 12:18pm

Has anyone on Kudzu noticed an increase in gassiness? Or, an increase in washroom visits?

I don't know, maybe I'm just gross... [smiley=bag.gif]

I thought I read on one of the threads that someone experienced something similar.

Nope that was Frank. He is full of it!! [smiley=laugh.gif]
I'm on verapamil as well... so I guess between the two I'm all levelled out. Makes for a pleasant change I can tell you too!

This isn't 'dark' humour but do you think you were a bit overly gassy before Kudzu?

I've been known to rip a good one now and again ;;D but nothing like now.

In all seriousness, at times my wife won't come near me... [smiley=bag.gif]

*off to the drugstore to buy some "windeze"* :-/

Sorry for the thread, but glad to know I'm not *totally* alone.

ROFL, Helen!! Um.... Kudzu does seem to be causing more frequent "reading room" visits. Well, that's okay... After all, I'm full of it. LOL! [smiley=laugh.gif] :-*

Reminds me of Zelnorm (tegaserod), which is a 5-ht4 agonist used to treat constipation.

"Tegaserod was found to be more effective than placebo in increasing the frequency of stools, relieving abdominal pain and discomfort, and decreasing the sensations of bloating among women subjects. There was an insufficient number of male participants to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of treatment in men. The beneficial effects of treatment started early (during the first week of treatment) and were sustained throughout the 12-week period of study." http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=21533

Could be a coincidence, could be a similarity.

Now that you mention it, YES! It's getting difficult to quickly step aside to that people will think it's the "other guy" and not me. :-[

Nice. I always blame it on my wife.

Yeah, and if I actually did that, she would kill me. Literally.

I can't report any previous problems with the prevoius brand of Kudzu, but now that I switched to Nature's Way. I'm not so sure.
It has also been reported that shrooms produce some gastrointestinal discomfort

I've been on Nature's Way only for 4 days so far. Will report at the end of the week.
