It does sometimes, but it's not a constant. I have been popping gasx quite a bit lately, but I'm not exceeding the recommended dosage. Not to mention the fact that I only get by by taking at least one Pepto-Bismol tablet a day. It does seem to help soothe the problem. Oh yeah, on the bowel regiment days I usually take mineral oil and that really helps soothe the pain.
When I was at the hospital last I briefly saw a G.I. Dr. and now that I recall she wanted a stool sample, but it was kind of hectic and a staff never got one. I'm going to call in today to see what I need to do in order to obtain one. Thanks again for the advice.
