That's interesting what you said about how many times a day we should poop! Since I've been making an effort to eat more fruit and veg and get some more IF, I've been pooping about 3 times a day and have been worrying that this was too often and I was going to go into an IBS crisis! Yay, I'm doing ok! Animals also poop alot more btw! Never thought much about that before.
Not sure I agree on the IBS and mineral deficiency thing...but then I basically got IBS b/c I have Fibro...which I'm sure I got from my Mum...and one problem with Fibro is deficiencies in some vitamins and minerals (science is not sure which is the cause and which is the effect tho!)...so I guess that theory does actually work for me!
I'm gonna try and limit my sugar consumption further...do you find my post in the LivingRoom? Questions, questions, questions!
