The hip bone's connected to the. . . colon?

The human body is really amazing.

For example, everybody poops, but did you know that walking is an important part of that particular function? Walking encourages healthy defecation by both conditioning some of the muscles involved and, well, moving things along in the lower intestines. Walking, running. . . even swimming and bicycling all promote healthy elimination.

Yesterday, I walked more than I have in a month, and I ate pretty well for the last two days.

This morning I woke up and found that Ensign Wheatbiscuit is also a fan of exercise, and had escaped. "Healthy" is one word for what followed over the next five hours. Nightmarish and excruciating are another set of good words.

I'm now 2lbs lighter than I was last night, and my lower back is so stressed I can barely stand.

Painkillers onboard, seek and destroy missions are out for the elusive Ensign.

Eep! Sorry you are enduring the IBS. I have it as well. The only thing that enables me to stay eating solids is Bentyl. Mine is giving me some grief for the last two weeks. The nausea sucks. Would that we could successfully tell our GI tracts to smarten up and behave. Sigh.
