So far today I've eaten a big bowl of raisin bran 4 peaches, a nectarine, a banana,

and 2 ears of corn. Am I going to hell for gluttony? I might have a couple more peaches before bed.

Gassy as hell though. Fiber is a fairly weak laxative as all it really does is produce fecal-volume that then stimulates the bowel to move it on out. It's why if you ever take too much Metamucil^TM you'll have the opposite problem and have to take magnesium citrate in order to cause the body to dump water and break up the fiber bulk before it forms a blockage.

This coincidentally is the real reason medieval prisoners were fed bread and water, it caused large painful movements. (The things you learn in a class on the history of the European religious wars of the post-Reformation.)

I've been feeling a little bloated lately. Maybe this will help.

If there is no booze available I would recommend some minor tranquilizers , DMT,LSD , Prozac , Nyquil P.M. , some Vanilla ice cream with six large cups of strong coffee and then a cold shower . Call my office Tuesday or better yet call Tuesday Afternoon ,MFM , IN THE WIND and several others here so we can order pizza and a few kegs of Beer .
