Try adding more purple to your diet!
Purple foods such as concord grapes, blueberries, plums, pomegranates, acai berries, red wine, and even eggplants are very high in antioxidants. Purple foods have been shown to protect your heart and vision, promote mental focus, and increase longevity. Research has indicated that purple foods may even be used to prevent or cure cancer.

barely helped me. I had irritable bowel syndrome and I was able to keep the food down most of the time but I had alot of stomach pains
—Posted by Anonymous
06 Apr 2011
I have been taking Bentyl for a few years now, and I only take it when I have symptoms. Sometimes twice a month, sometimes I skip months.. It works miracles with stomach pain, which is why I take it, but I do get a lot of the side effects. I thought I was the only one! I'm glad to see a strong 10% of people seem to get the same thing. Blurred vision, memory problems, equilibrium is slightly bad, slurred speech, dry mouth and very drowsy. If I have to take it more than once in a day or two the symptoms aren't nearly as strong. But go off of it for a couple months and take it again, and hello symptoms! Anyone else ever feel any of this?
