Q. Thank you for your invaluable advice. After a colon resection I had severe diarrhea diagnosed as IBS. Nothing helped except 4 to 6 Lomotil pills daily.
When I tried your remedy of shredded coconut, it worked like a miracle. Can I safely increase the dosage, which is presently 3 teaspoons?
A. It is certainly possible to increase the amount of coconut you are taking. Be careful, though, since too much may lead to constipation. Keep in mind that coconut is high in fat and calories. You may need to adjust your diet to compensate.
