Hi Holley. I feel you pain! I had a resection surgery almost 5 years ago and had a horrible time with D for several weeks afterwards. After a few days of D, having a bowel movement caused...
Thanks krw135. I forgot about the nutribullet. I'll check that out....
And Happy Valentines Day to all the men and women, especially my husband who is waiting for me to come home from my ski trip....
