Try eating yogurt that has the culture in it. I like the kind with fruit it tastes better.
It provides some necessary nutrients that help to stabilize bowel function. Also, buy some Bismuth tablets. Bismuth is most important to the digestive tract. A doctor discovered if he added bismuth to the diet of people with ulcers, the antibiotic worked much better so there is something in bismuth our bodies need.
