Probiotic formulas made sense, but they all gave me the gut gurgles. I never could get used to them.
Meal replacement diet shakes all either gave me gas or nasty, stiff painful doodys. No matter how much fruit and veggies I ate.
And that’s not even mentioning the body-building supplements, sheesh! Way to blow a million bucks!

Beleive me, I’ve spent a ton of money- having Crohn’s and Fibromyalgia, I guess I got desperate for a ‘cure’ and beleived a lot of the ‘research’ and ‘clinical trials’ these companies suppsoedly did- then when looking into the actual trials, I saw they were ‘inconclusive’ or not very helpful, and htose that were, coulda been chalked up to placebo effect- then I started becomign more andm ore suspicious over time, and finally smartened up a bit- no more spending for me- I’ve resigned myself to hte fact that the Good Lord doesn’t want me to find the answer pill, and have resigned myself to simpyl accepting that I’m always gonna feel cruddy (I discovered after trying many different thigns, and wasting a LOT of money of bogus claims from different brands and concoctions of vits mins and herbs, that I can feel really cruddy, medium cruddy, or pretty cruddy at best- but any way I slice it, it’s gonna be cruddy)
My motto now is ‘life is what it is, and that is that’ ,and I try to weigh cost of somethign to how much it helps, and for the cost of vitimins, nothign helped significantly enough to even write home about and cost me an arm and a leg to try. Oh well. (and besides, I might have even doen myself harm, as I’ve had to have several surgeries which I suspect mighta been because I mucked things up by messign with mins vits and herbs- but it coulda just been gonna happen anyways- hard to tell- now I just try to get vits andm ins out of food naturally, and leave it at that
I’ve been a weight lifter for almost 20 years ... keeps this 6’5”, 325 lb frame at 7% body fat. (Gets harder each passing year... not the body, the work to sustain ...lol) and I use a high quality pure predigested whey protein once a day to keep protein levels up. I eat 6 small meals a day. The replacement meal diet shakes are a waste of money, it is the protein I am after. And that is the only supplement I take.
I learned a long time ago not to use the super discount, cheap protein. I can’t say that it isn’t effective in feeding muscle, but OH MY GAWD .... you don’t want to be in the same room with me. Wicked wicked wicked flatulence ..... the type that will mag a gaggot oops dyslexia slipping in. Not sure what the deal is, and now that I think about it ya’ll probably didn’t need to know all that.
