    My follow-up colonscopy info......

    Just received a follow-up note from my GI doc's nurse....to maintain better bowl movements, I am to swallow a minimum of 5-8 Metamucil pills, each morning....these are suppose to produce "floaters"....this is in reference to my turds....if they are "sinkers", that's a no-no bad turd....the ingredients in the Metamucil (psyllium husks) will inject enough fiber qualities in my turds, to cause them to become "floaters", which are the good turds.

    I've never been much of a turd watcher, but I do remember several GH discussions in the past on the subject....I even remember the heated discussion we had about the proper direction for wiping....i.e., north to south or south to north....can't seem to remember the winner of that one....prolly Phole.

    In the meantime, I am to increase the recommended pill dosage, until I produce all "floaters", and continue at that dosage, daily...I got a feeling that I'm gonna be a "floater" failure.

    I have taken 5 such pills every day for 20+ years. And 20 more other pills.

    So, I assume that you are a successful "floater" producer....question---if you wipe before looking, and the tp covers up the suspect turd, how do you determine it's flotation qualities???

    It, you could actually eat more fiber instead of taking a pill.

    No, Thump, this is just healthy conversation....I'm trying to spread the good news about those healthy floaters!!!

    And, CD, according to the nurse's memo, I don't think even several bowls of oatmeal will make floaters, acceptable to her standards.

    Yeah, I know, it's sorta dumb-sounding stuff, but funny as heck, while I was reading it to my wife....we had our colonoscopies the same day, and she got a letter, too.

    No pills, just a teaspoon of the powder in a glass of water makes for nice floaters.
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me

    You could chew the cork off your rod handles. That'd probably give your doo doo positive bouyancy.

    I tried the soluble powder for years. UGH. I take 5 pills now.

    I have no clue. I don't look. I don't care what they LOOK like long as they keep coming daily. Without the pills, they don't.
