Quote: 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. [snip] 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.
I went through this phase once I'd been on the EFI Diet for a short while. The horrible urgency and cramping pain lessened, but the frequency and "feeling of incomplete evacuation" hung around for a while. For me time on the Diet plus getting up to a pretty high level of Acacia got the frequency down. I think it just took time and soothing for my gut to calm down and figure out how to regulate itself again. Now if I'm diligent about sticking to the Diet and I eat on a regular schedule, my norm is once a day.
