"Amazing stuff. I was up all night every hour with diarrhea. I had one dose and had one loose black motion. After that, it stopped! Please read the side effects. Black stools is a harmless common side effect that will last a couple of days after treatment, just like mine did. They slowly regain color and consistency. I opted for one dose every hour. Eight doses in total, just to make sure. I can't recommend this stuff enough. I have another bottle in my medical cupboard. It has a long shelf life!"
