I was diagnosed with Colitis decades ago and was first on prescription meds and then it became available otc. I desired to lessen my need for medication, especially when I found a possible interaction with a necessary prescription. I tried this, and with time, and a slooow introduction and tiny increases, I have lessened my dependency on drugs and hope to be completely free of them one day. Disolves quickly and completely, doesn't settle (I usually just add to water because its undetectable), and I have tried it in a host of other things. No bloating or gas (and I apologize for being indelicate). I'm price aware and have been satisfied in that respect
