CJ, thank you for this info. I will call my doc today (new one, left my old one)-not that I expect to get him on the phone or hear back from him very soon. I really detest doctors. But that's another story. So is the remedy for fat malabsorption probiotics? I, too, have been drinking Heather's peppermint & fennel teas daily although this past week I've been forgetting to drink them. I never considered the possibility that the peppermint would be causing my gas, but I'll pay close attention now. I mix them for the taste, but maybe I should drink them separately for a while, to test my reaction to each...mm... I'm on day 1 1/2 of no Acacia. I'm waiting to see what happens re: gas and BMs all day. I'm just like you, never ending BMs. again thanks so much.
