TMI : Never, and I mean never
Gina, try burning a couple of wooden matches (right after you get up and wash your hands or even before, if you have time.) My DH makes me little sticks out of hickory wood. They smell really good when they burn - like your favorite BBQ restaurant. It is the best thing I have found to cover up poo smell or even fart smell in the rest of the house. Works really fast.
I was getting out of hand with simple carbs - namely sugar- and had that experience as well as frequent trips to the LOO everyday. Since I have cut them out and started behaving the last few days I had one BM in the morning and nothing else the whole day. I was reminded it doesn't have to be messy. It's up you!
