Thank you AA, Lisa & Goodkel! It is nice to be able to have a "barometer" of DS Normal from the get go. I knew the color seemed pretty normal after reading so many other posts. But, the nurse certainly gave me a fright. I thought I would pull back on the fats a little and see if that doesn't curb the issue. I also have been indulging in a few small bits of watermelon daily. This will be the first day without. Perhaps tomorrow, will be better. The pain has me concerned. Would love more comments from others or suggestions on early remedies. I keep thinking I just need to suck it up and the magic day where everything turns a corner will come soon. At least, that has been my approach so far. Until the nurses' comments.
If I can stay in a store long enough to buy some Probiotics, I will do it. I was almost to that section today, when the bathroom became a huge issue for me. I finally had to just go home.
Does anyone know if the Probiotics would counter this issue?
