It sounds GREAT that you can go every morning! As a mostly IBS-Cer...I don't get to do that often enough (and when I do it's from hemorrhoids...PAIN-FUL!)
However, I was at the mall the other night with D! My hubby and I were in Lord and Taylor and it just hit me out of nowhere. I had to go NOW! I wasn't sure I would make it to the bathroom!  I did...by a hair...
I think they're both just AWFUL! But, in a lot of ways, I think the uncertainty of when it's gonna hit is the worst of all. At least with C it doesn't keep you close to the loo wherever you go! (But I gotta say, that clogged up feeling is NOT FUN...to say the least).
Hmm...in regards to the weight Q...Bev, do you get enough water? How much sodium you get a day? If you're losing from D and you're getting too much sodium and not enough water...you might be retaining water...and having a "water weight gain". I also find if I eat too much, even if I am in the midst of D, I still don't lose weight. (I can even gain). I'm not sure how this works (maybe because for me it's a combo of D and C?) Also, do you get enough exercise?
I think it may also have a lot to do with metabolism. I have a SLOW metabolism (at least that's my theory!) and this is why I find I can eat very little and gain (it may also be because I'm so backed up all the time!)
*phew* Too many theories, dontcha think? 
Hope I gave you something useful to think about...if not, thanks for listening anyway
*hugs*
