Comment:
I was told by my doctor to take 4 times a day because the drug has to stay in your system at all times. After reading some reviews I'm unsure if I should take 4 a day before meals an one at bedtime. They are the directions I was given. Any advice?? I had to fill in the stars which are N/A to me yet. So disregard for now. Thanks, Lisa

Comment:
I started taking it when I was hospitalized for diverticulitis. I had to have surgery due to having 2 abcesses in my colon. I was in there for 2 weeks due to severe infection. I take it 4 times a day as directed by my doctor. I am still experiencing the constipation and am very bloated most of the time. I'm not sure it is that effective with me. I'll give it more time though.
