This was super helpful, thank you for posting it. I know i have issues with my stomach but I could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong with it. I have these little pellets when I poop and I just couldn't figure out why. I read an article, https://www.ez.insure/landing/2020/01/how-to-fix-pebble-stool/ which explained the different ways to help with it. Do you think it will work? I am sick of dealing with these stomach issues.
