I've been meaning to ask this question for quite a while, but have never known quite how to phrase it. :) I know that when we eat food, it can take 1, 2 or more days for it go through its entire exciting ride. When I have (usually mild) D, I've always wondered .. is that caused by something I ate recently, or, something I ate maybe a day or two ago and it's just kind of been .. waiting it's place in line?
So often I blame my D on what I've JUST eaten, but I wonder if that's correct?
Understanding the process better would help me to understand what my trigger foods are. Sometimes it seems like the only thing that makes sense is if I can (forgive me) match my loose stools up to the food that I ate 1 or 2 days ago. Does that make sense?
Any help understanding this is appreciated. Bonus points for explaining the same kind of thing regarding gas. It almost seems impossible sometimes that what I just ate an hour ago is already causing gas way at the other end of the disassembly line.
