Thank you. Your info makes sense. The odd thing is that after I posted today, I had like 4-5 bms but not d. Pretty much normal, maybe feeling about 20% incomplete. It seems like my body was tring to catch up from not going the past two days (I'm guessing...but still I'm not sure...it could have been something I ate like you mentioned). Do you think eating about a 1/4 of an orange would be better than the juice? Where do you get your vitamin C? And would you consider the tofutti better than cream cheese the same risk as fake cheese? I just discovered it and really like it, but maybe that's why I went a lot today? (had some on a plain bagel with a smoothie and acacia at lunch) I am definitely going to try the sit-up idea...I could always use some work on my abs anyway! I know it takes time, I just wish I knew how to get the correct balance for 1 or 2 predictable bms/day. I am a thousand times better than before with d...the urgency has definitely lessened, but I am still in the phase of needing to be near a bathroom b/c everything is so erratic. Thanks for your advice.
