Daily Column

DEAR DR. GOTT:
I started taking Certo seven years ago thanks to your column. Certo has a tartness that bothers my stomach so I tried using other brands. They worked just as well as the Certo. Then, four years ago, I found apple pectin capsules after doing an internet search on “pectin”. I buy them at my local health food store. Two 700 mg capsules daily keeps me pain free.

DEAR READER:
Thank you for writing to remind other readers that generic pectin is just as effective as brand name Certo. It is also more cost effective. Now we can also add apple pectin capsules to the mix.

Readers, if you have tried apple pectin pills, please let me know your results. I will print a follow-up article with the results.
