The Anit Menu and Exercise Program - Sat June 23

At 11+ yrs out, I still have pudding poop.  It can go too liquidy if I don't get enough yogurt and fiber.  Adding extra calcium and iron helps consistency, too.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Maybe that's why you haven't had an issue with weight regain.

That's a great way to describe it - pudding. I also take magnesium to help although my 2nd be of the day is always pudding (I have 3 a day - usually 2 solid one pudding) and I eat over 25g fiber a day.

pudding poop only happens for me when I have. Eaten carb including sugar. I have soft formed poop otherwise at 18 mos out

Not gross at all. I wonder sometimes that DS'rs don't get advanced degrees in poopology as time goes by. 

It all really depends on how I'm eating and drinking.  Pudding like is a regular occurrence. Aside from that it is mostly
a lot of small soft pieces, I think due to my making a real effort to drink a lot more than I really need to.

I was badly constipated ohh maybe about 6 weeks out from surgery and not something I ever want to go through again. I
really feel bad for those people that deal with it on a regular basis. So I hydrate and do a spoonful of benefibre most days 
with my morning protein shake.

It's pretty rare I get anything close to my pre-op BM's (well formed logs) and usually means I haven't been deinking as much or perhaps eating exceptionally a heavy protein only diet. It's really the only time I bother to try and figure out if I'm getting any/ enough fat 
in my meals (a very very rare occurrence. ).

I don't think I've  really heard anyone say that before bit I suppose it's possible. I do tend to believe it would be more related to overall dietary changes rather than any significant loss of the malabsorption.  While I do think we lose some over time I'm just not sure
how significant it is.

When I'm on xifaxin I get two normal poops a day. Nice solid appropriately colored poop. When I'm done with a two week treatment after about a week I'm back to shades of gray and brown and green and orange. But man are those two weeks nice for normality!
