Yep. To be honest, lots of BMs I calss as D even if it's not liquid. It's still them moving through GI tract too fast...so Immodium can be helpful. The incomplete emptying is a bit different to that with me.

I still consider myself mostly D even though I don't have the "typical D", just several per day.

Yep. But if you actually need to go (not just feeling like you need to when nothing will come out) then you must go or you could make yourself C!

So far, so good. I got sick and tired of getting the run around from doctors and still being sick (and getting worse) so out of desperation, I was led to a doctor and after thinking and thinking about it, finally gave in to the little voice of intuition that was screaming at me! lol This doctor also does energy healing and other things, but when you get desperate enough, you'll try anything. Actually , it's been pretty good and I'm glad I started seeing her. I'm still taking my librax, but only once/day and she has me on other natural medicines. Hopefully, soon I'll be off the librax. I'm weaning off of nexium right now. I think you'll really like it...wow...two whole weeks...does your benefactor take applications for grants? lolol

Good luck with your alternative health center fortnight. It sounds super interesting and a little scary. I'd love to hear from you after you're done (including the name of the place), but I'd love to hear from you even more 3, 6, 12 months down the road to know what the long-term benefits are.

From what I've read, "incomplete evacuation" (sounds like the people who didn't make it off the Titanic) is a classic IBS symptom. Really having to go is fine. Really having to go too much - urgency and frequency - is miserable, but somehow normal and that's what I use Immodium for. Incomplete evacuation is a whole different animal. It's almost like the wires are crossed - the "am I done" sensor says, "No", but the "have to go" sensor is also saying, "No". Really maddening. For me, time on Heather's diet plus a lot of SFS caused that symptom to gradually fade away.

Take care.

And let us know how it goes, please. I would love to know the name of this place! And, as someone else mentioned, does your benefactor take names!
