Sophia, with numbers not quite that high, but still feeling like I was spending all afternoon in the restroom most days, I started a food diary. Which is how I zeroed in on lactose intolerance. Pain in the neck sometimes, but I prefer it to feeling sick all the time. Maybe a food diary would be a not-too-time-consuming place to start?
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

That is probably a good idea, epic. Also, I am probably exaggerating a bit, and (TMI ahead) I am not sure how to count what feels like the same poop, but is multiple trips to the bathroom

Because books.
Could it be irritable bowel, Sophia?

I think count trips, even if it seems like the same poop. Because number of trips is relevant in terms of motility and such.

I also have some days that seem devoted to the toilet. I have trouble figuring out what to attribute to side effects of medication. The chemo seems to escalate my irritable bowel to really pissed-off bowel. In my case, the main factor is stress.

Between prescriptions, smoking, and stress, I am in the bathroom more than I'd like to be. But some days it's not an issue at all.

A food diary is how I discovered pork had betrayed me.

flea, j'adore that house. It's really great.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I finished the photos from flea's house last Saturday. Where should I put them? I could post them to my flickr account (where anyone could see them). Or I could post them to FB and restrict them to my FB friends?
I think there's a Buffista flickr account--maybe there?

I don't care if pictures of Tim and me are public. flea may want pictures of the kids to be restricted, though.
