i had pain and bloating for three years. i tried all those medicines that i was prescribed. i had an upper gi two ultrasounds two x-rays a nuclear test and blood work. no doctor could figure me out. i tried their medicines i tried herbs and nothing seemed to work. finally i found mastic gum. i started taking two in the morning along with aloe vera. within a week my pain was gone. i have given mastic gum to a couple of other people who were miserable. one of them had been off work for two months. this guy was back to work the next week. another person who was having some testing done to figure out their problems took this stuff and the pain was gone within two hours. i don't take it everyday anymore just when i need it. i also try to eat very healthy and stay away from high fat foods especially. i hope this helps.
