Sorry all. I didn't mean to contradict or question the SF/IF thing. I've read all Heather's stuff and I thought I had the whole concept down. I was just wondering about the sweet potato being suggested as helpful to help move things along when I was thinking of it as SF. This is also b/c of my own personal experience with sweet potatoes in the past as I had mentioned. I like the explanation of how if you only eat SF, the gel will swell and you drink water and eventually it will come out but the IF will help it come out sooner. I think this is happening to me lately. I keep feeling like I have to go and then I'm having multiple BMs (and I did just increase my Acacia). So maybe if I eat more IF at the get-go, I'll have a quicker more complete bm and won't have that lingering feeling. Oh..trial and error for all of us!
