Hi, John,  I will certainly get some coconut oil next time I get to town, 
although my trouble is mostly constipation,  lately I have to use an enema 
almost every day to keep things in motion. Don't know about the fennel , I am 
already putting so many new things in there,  yesterday and today the spot 
under my right ribcage that is always sore to touch, hurts all the time.  I am 
using a fiber medicine called Fiberzon which is a mixture of  a number of 
herbs, any one of which, may give me trouble. Another has a vinegar base 
because most people as they age develop a tendency to not have suffiecient acid 
to properly digest food.  But this burning pain is worrisome.  This evening I 
didn't take the vinegar one. Will wait and see. The products I am taking are 
the result of an Ondamed treatment given me by a naturopath who specializes in 
this.  Other members of my family have tried this with good results. If you are 
interested in finding out more about Ondamed, just put the name into the search 
box on Yahoo and you will get information. Thanks, Ruth<html><div>From Ruth
