At around 9pm I had a slice of pizza (late and not great supper). I wasn't feeling well, but I attributed it to waiting so long for supper. Within minutes I was running to the bathroom and my stomach violently returned my dinner. Then the diarrhea started. I was so miserable that I was contemplating going to the hospital. I called my family physician and told him I took licorice. He wasn't surprised with the reaction, and said that licorice is toxic to a lot of people. He told me to just ride it out for about 12-24 hours, and it will be out of my system and I will feel better (and to stick to liquids).

I just got a new bottle from the Naturopath.

Very well could be...

(I had never heard that about licorice having that kind of effect on people - but I doubt I'll ever have the nerve to try it or anything else for a while now.)
Oh, I hope you don't give up on trying new things to help you just because I had one bad experience. We have to keep looking...
