And they are high volume! I love it! It really feels as if my body is working properly.<BR/><BR/>I've had a few sessions of colonic irrigation in the past during periods of detoxification. They're wonderful! But yes, more than anything diet and exercise are key to digestive health.Hanliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476650601531649816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223407242441113347.post-5087236659882720762009-01-20T08:42:00.000-05:002009-01-20T08:42:00.000-05:00Thanks for all the input everyone! @ paradigm--I k...Thanks for all the input everyone! <BR/>@ paradigm--I know 3x daily sounds crazy but in an ideal situation 3 meals would equal 3 PBMs. I'm not sure how many people ACTUALLY experience this, but...<BR/><BR/>@Christine--you win for most unlikely answer.

Less frequent than that (especially with a sense of "fullness") and you are constipated. Still, if it is regular on any sort of schedule, it's not necessarily bad... <BR/><BR/><BR/>I found that my best bowel movements actually came when I was in Nicaragua. Everything was cooked in oil. Greased the insides nicely, particularly when you add in all the fiber from the rice and beans and corn. Sigh.
