In March I was feeling very stiff and achy (and old) and my skin didn't look as young (I'm 54). I was so disheartened that I bought powder collagen on Amazon. Turns out the muscle soreness and stiffness was from Covid, lol. Anyway, I continued to use it. About a month in I noticed a significant change in how my J-Pouch felt. I didn't have the pressure and urgency that I experienced before. This has been amazing. I recently took a vacation (felt a little better about going away since we had the antibodies so don't judge) and it was so much different. We went on two 4-1/2 hour boat trips and long bike rides without worry. I don't know if it would help anyone else, but I thought I'd pass it on. Also, my eyelashes and skin look better!
Loperamide--I still take 1 a day in the morning. Is this safe to take for the rest of our lives?
