Kind of gross link, but informative...thanks:-) I think my digestive issues were a major contributing factor to giving up booze...it was literally painful at the end to drink (and smoke) but I kept at it for months even after it had become horrid to swallow a drink. I mentioned elsewhere, that at the end it was pure willpower keeping me drinking, I think that confused a lot of people. My digestion isn't back to normal, but it is better:-)
I will try to find some of the links I have used that might be of interest to you all later.
Right now, I need to go help with dinner!
