[Magdalen] Prayer pats unhappy gut

[Ginga Wilder]

Sally,
Hope you are better and, if not, your doc can help you figure out what's
going on.  GI distress is horrible.

I'm due for my 5th or 6th colonoscopy next year.  I generally have an
endoscope at the same time.  Usually more to report in the upper GI.   I
will be 70 in June.  I had a terrible case of medication induces hepatitis
at the first of this year...word to the wise: do not mix ranexa and lipitor!
