I have noticed some results that I thought might be there but wasn't sure. The less I eat, the longer space I get between eating something the more regular my bowels seem to become. The last two days I have not gone BM until the evening. I have not gone as frequently and I have had greater volume of output. I think there are two things at work here. First is I've cut down on the amount of snacking. Second the stress level of getting up and going to work is reduced and my days have pretty been my own to start. I've gotten a lot done and have been more physically active in the last couple of days than normal. All of that is good.
In addition I've stayed away from an excess of chocolate, fatty candy bars. That also seems to be a trigger. So right now, the early indications are good, I am relaxed, work at my own pace, don't have too much in the way of obligations and my system seems to be functioning quite nicely.
My wife always says, moderation. For a person who has most often lived a life of excess that is tough to follow, but the proof is hard to ignore.
