    Hey, Shane! Good to hear from you. Drop by more often. In all honesty, this symptom may go on quite long. If I also remember correctly, you ate quite a lot fast food? This type of food is a problem *even* for the people who are not in WD. If there was any chance to, at least, limit it, the symptoms would ease up a bit. How are you doing in general these days?
    Keep walking. Just keep walking.

    The w/d increases the gastro-intestinal problems but fastfood is not good, even for people who are not in w/d.

    Major traumatism in my life:Prozac during short periods.
    Deroxat (=Paxil) during 7 years.
