It's funny...when I was drinking 1/2 gallon plus of water or herbal tea a day, I retained a ton of water (though I went plenty too) and was practically "D". I cut back too much and now I am "C". It's clear that I can over drink and cause myself to be "loose" which is better than "C" in my book...yet when I don't drink enough it swings the other way.

I must find a proper balance...

The back of my horse pill...I mean Equalactin box says that just 10% difference in the water content can tilt the balance between "D" and "C". It's an interesting theory really but how to find the balance? Trial and error I suppose.

For me this makes a ton of sense...for those of who who have a more severe case than I, I am not too sure.

I am an adoptive mom of two kids and I used to wish they came with an "owner's manual" thinking that mom's who gave birth to their children had a manual built into their brain during the 9 months they were pregnant!

Now that I am wishing for a manual for my colon...I see that natural doesn't always equal knowing!
