Mark, dunno if you were asking me but my shoulder joints click a hell of a lot, although don't actually hurt. In fact, my hips and knees click and crack like nothing else - I'm only 27, by the way.

Why do you ask? Is digestive discomfort connected to the shoulders? Quite often when I have my shake in the afternoon my stomach feels really bloated and, well, crap, for want of a better word. Lasts a couple of hours.

Never noticed any problems with my shoulders, though. I have to admit my initial reactions to some of the stuff you say about everything being connected is one of cynicism, but I think that's more down to a lack of knowledge in this area than anything else - certainly no disrespect intended.

I have noticed some of the bodybuilders like Ronnie Coleman have really badly distorted abs, but I just figured that was something to do with steroids? Not that I'm suggesting Ronnie Coleman uses steroids, before I'm sued. Clearly his freaky physique is down to hard workouts, diet and genetics...
