She had diverticulitis, and they really helped with colon problems and with energy. My dad just started taking them last month. He has DMII (never served, just a overweight, retired truck driver), and recurring, undiagnosed colon problems. My mom says that he is getting some good results in that he is not sleeping all day every day and that his stomach isn't bothering him much any more. She did say that he got in a habit of taking his DMII meds better, though. It's hard to tell at this point whether it was the B12 or the other changes that have helped him yet.

Hope that they help you! Boondoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
