Got up 8:50 am. This cold is still hanging in there, so I'm taking a sick day.
Took a shower pretty much right away, felt like I had to have a BM but by the end of my shower I was scrambling to get dried off so I could make it to the toilet - it was a perfectly normal BM (long, well formed, moderate volume), I just had major urgency.
Breakfast: oatmeal with brown sugar and cinnamon with 1 tbs Acacia stirred in, hard-boiled egg white.
About 10:30 had another urgent BM - again it was fairly normal, though a bit softer. About the same volume as previous, there were a few specks of tomato in the wipe.
Lunch (12:30 pm): deli chciken sandwich on toasted English muffin with light margarine, miracle whip, and very thin slice of tomato.
Snack: cup-a-soup (spring vegetable)
Dinner (5:45 pm): chicken breast in chipotle marinade, with rice and peas, multivitamin, 1 tbs Acacia.
Snacks: tiny piece dark chocolate, 4 saltines with herb soy cream cheese, very small glass light soy milk.

You eat so healthy...and your dinners always sound sound yummy! I wish I had the desire to cook! I'm sick of canned soups and canned tuna. Although, I couldn't handle all the white bread you eat.
Keep up the great work!

Do you use Fiber One as your bran cereal?

I just use the Safeway brand All Bran cereal. I've been eating it (in some quantity or another) for years. It's been a long time since I read the ingredients but I'm pretty sure it doesn't contain artificial sweeteners or anything else "forbidden".
It could be a number of things making me C:
1. I'm on my 10th day of a cold right now and I've been taking a lot of Tylenol with codeine for the pain (I'm gettign awful headaches and sinus pain). Codeine can cause C in a lot of people so that may be it right there.
2. I haven't been as diligent with my water intake over the last few days. I tend to slow down on drinking water when I get sick because it either irritates my throat or makes the post-nasal drip worse, or both. Today I have been trying extra hard to drink more water!
3. I started my period yesterday and my system may be a little wacky from it - who knows!
4. I've been a weeeeee bit bad with chocolate lately - partly because I am sick and ALMOST not caring, but it's not like I've been going crazy. I've been eating Cadbury mini Creme eggs here and there (never more than one in a day), I had a Hershey's Kiss yesterday, and besides that I've been treating myself to some dairy-free dark chocolate too. But it's NEVER more than one little piece at a time. It's not like I sit down and eat a whole bar or anything!
Anyway I think it's some combination of all of the above, particularly the codeine and reduced water intake. I hope I can go soon though, my tummy is quite uncomfortable and all I want to do is go to the bathroom!
