Happy Birthday TO YOU...what a great day to start a new life. It's perfect!

Interesting....I'm also on the Helidac. My doc didn't say what kind of virus I had though. Just that I had a stomach virus.

Good luck with everything!!

Thanks, so far so good though. I didn't know I had anything wrong. I'm on Metformin as well as insulin, and the Metformin always makes me gassy/inconsistent stools.

Great news tipsynoodle! I am very glad it is all starting to work itself out for you.
