How's Your Colon Doing?

Oh, the things you come up with Spark! hehe I have issues with my movements. My doc said my all bran ceral and whole grain breads, and all the salads and greens I eat, just aren't enough. So now I mix a couple teaspoons of benefiber with my coffee every morning and in mymilk every evening. Sad thing is, I don't think its working:(

Wow I just think I ought to turn around and not answer this and go back to trying to think up a discussion. LOL!! I really never thought about it or have done nothing. LOL!! have a nice one hun.

My father and I, according to everyone else, are really strange, as we both... "excrete faecal matter"... at least twice a day, morning and night. I don't intentionally do anything to keep this way, but I do drink a lot of water and prepare fresh, healthy meals with fruit and vegetables, and get all my food groups in a day.

Staggered though I am that you have any interest in my regularity, I am very happy to share my daily ritual. Every morning I get up, make a cup of tea and sit here, in front of the computer and having picked up the BBC News and New York Times online I turn to my E mails and myLot. Usually, just as I get to the second or third discussion, I get a familiar tightening in my lower abdomen that tells me that it is time to pop off and read whichever magazine has been left conveniently close to the lavatory for the purpose of keeping the mind off the action that is just about to take place. Approximately five minutes later I am heading to the kitchen. (Big) Job done. In the kitchen I have my bowl of All Bran or supermarket lookalike and I can then return to the computer for an uninterrupted session writing about my bowel movements for the edification of others. During the course of the day I also consume at least five portions of fruit and veg. All this lot keeps me a happy chappy, and the toilet paper industry in quilted products. Hope that helps.

Fiber fiber and more fiber. Iam a diabetic with more pills than carter but to be regular I eat oatmeal and lots of veggies and fruit and it does work without taking a lot of gunk too. Also I make it a point to get my ten glasses of water each and every day no matter what. I get my fiber from my foods the natural way as I already take two pills for my diabetes, three for my high blood pressure and one for my arthritis so that is enough already.
