What about those of us who have the "opposite" problem?
 

I usually have the opposite problem! I can't eat eggs or milk products. Any time I have anything with them in them I get the opposite problem. I have to get to the bathroom as soon as I feel the urge. Any tips for making me more like you?

Hi Seams:

My brother in law, who is 71 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11, and weighs 122, is exactly like you. He goes all day long.

He only eats white stuff. Only binding stuff, as he calls it. He eats rice, plain spaghetti (no oil, no salt, no sauce, no nothing). He takes gaviscon before he eats anything. He says he has acid reflux.

I say"what the heck do you eat that you have acid reflux?" but he doesn't eat anything but white stuff. He does eat a bit of chicken with boiled veggies (but very little on that).

Mostly, rice, spaghetti, and like I said: "white stuff". He never gains weight. He's as skinny as a toothpick.

He must have some fast metabolism, that's all I can say.

Oh, and he drinks hot water with each meal. Never anything cold, and never any coffee or tea or any milk. Just hot water.

Hey, he's 71 and still kicking just fine. He must know what he's doing, right??

Seams, maybe you should check out that store with Melody's constipation chair: they've got to have a "diarrhea chair" somewhere! Teehee! (Don't know that I'd want to sit on it, though.) :p

Some people use psyllium, which is a powerful fiber powder. A friend of mine was having problems so he filled-up a blender with psyllium and added some orange juice. He drank it all in one sitting before going to bed.

I asked him late rif it solved his proble. He replied " I do not know, but the next morning I gave birth to a python.
