Comment:
I have found taking 3 x 500mg capsules per day of 2,000 GDU/GRAM Bromelain, before, with, or after each meal, to be really helpful in reducing inflammatory pain response in the GI (the cause of which is not fully known but thought to be either an allergic response to Cr, Co, and Ni heavy metal ions from a metal/metal THJR artifact, and/or possible allergic reaction to fish oil/krill supplementatio
