Comment:
Administering this treatment has proven to be a bit of a hassle for me. I dislike the extra effort and prefer taking pills orally, however the treatment does have an immediate cooling sensation that brings comfort. I too have notice being a bit backed up for a few days following this treatment.

After 21 years of remission, I experienced a full blown flare up. With 20+ bathrooom trips a day I had bloating, gas, spasms, pain and bleeding. Witnin five days of use, Im back in remission. It's a miracle.
