Have not tried it. How would it help with living without a colon?

People that live without a colon have different reactions to things they ingest then someone that has a colon. They say that bee pollen his helpful for different things so my question is has it been helpful or destructive for someone living without a colon.
Well, since it is known that about 98% of digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine, I doubt that whatever reaction that occurs in the colon is antything more than negligible. Pollen is something I try to stay away from, since I now have seasonal allergies. Eating it is the last thing I'd want to do. As far as I can tell, there is no evidence that bee pollen has any proven health benefits, and any claims that are made are by those selling it. There is no real research on the product. Plus, as an unregulated product, you don't even know if what you are buying is just bee pollen.

That said, I'd be interested in hearing what it does for you or others.

Friends here swear by it and its beneficial effects.
I tried it with no result whatsoever.
Everyone was saying that it was miraculous but I did not find it to be so.

my daughter who has severe eczema was told at the co op to try bee pollen and bee probabilis so she did and I thought for sure we were going to have to take her to the E>R> she spent the whole night soaking her hands in cool water and her mouth and lips and tongue swelled. She had to take benedryl and it was a scary night. She had a 1 year old and didn't want to be in the e.r. so she promised me if she got worse she would go. So long story short, I wouldn't try it!!! She has never been allergic to honey but she has never got stung by a bee...so I don't know if she has a severe allergy or not but needless to say co-op took the expensive products back and gave full refund.
I'm going to experiment with bee pollen, I'll try anything.
I've been taking it for 2 days now. And so far I have not noticed any difference at all. And when I say that I mean there's been no positive or negative changes in my system that I've noticed so far. Everything seems the same as usual. I'm thinking about upping the dosage just to see if I can recognize any changes.
