Reply to "Gelsectan"

From what I can determine from reports Gelsectan is primarily for treatment of symptoms, particularly diarrhea, due to IBS. Studies are small, but promising. It seems safe for pretty much anyone, unless you have intolerance to any of the ingredients.

In regard to using it for treatment of diarrhea due to having a j-pouch, there is nothing in it that would replace the function of a colon, which is primarily to absorb water. The small intestine will adapt, but this takes time and there is nothing to speed that process.

However, if you have IPS it s reasonable to think this might be useful. Certainly, it would not hurt to try it. Go for it!
