Well, I'm aborting the test 4 hours early - I just couldn't do it any longer!! I think they should have enough poop to get results. So, I had 2 BM on Saturday after starting the high fat on Friday; then NO BMs Sunday or Monday (this seems odd b/c lord knows I've been intaking a whole lot). Last night I started getting really gassy so I figured I was in for a treat this morning, and sure enough... So far today I've had 4 BM, but they have been really hard to pass and collect b/c they are soooo sticky (maybe that's why I didn't have any the past 2 days - maybe it's all stuck to my colon). This test would probably be much easier for guys b/c if you get urine in the container, they won't accept it. Normally this wouldn't be so difficult but with it being so sticky, I have to sit a certain way to get the crap out of me and that's impossible to do with the dang container. Anyway, I'm hoping that I can now relax and just poop all of the junk I've been consuming for 4 days out of me. BTW, I haven't eaten anything yet today (I doubt that it would make it into the BMs anyway).
That's it for me, I will NEVER do another stool test again -this has been an awful 5 days. I'll post an update when I get the results back (should be about a week).
Oh yea, and I'm now up 8 pounds from when I started this on Friday - just another added bonus!!
