Afternoon: 1 soft

This afternoon, around 3pm, I had a moderately sized soft bowel movement.

Morning Movements: 2 soft

This morning, I had a large soft bowel movement upon getting out of bed and a second large, soft bowel movement after breakfast.

Probiotics?

Perhaps the mild downturn I experienced is from stress or the new probiotics I got last week? I ran out of the Jarrowdopholus eps 20bil. and bought renew life ultimate flora (high lacto) and have been taking one a morning.


Gas? Beans?

I'm a bit nervous tonight because I've been having copious gas, but that's what happens after eating beans which I had for dinner tonight... to normal digestive systems... wild.

Morning Movements: 3 sittings firm to loose, 1 small afternoon, smoked

Today was a particularly stressful day, I had an enormous amount of work to do "asap". This morning, I got up, had a large bowel movement that began as firm and ended as very soft, and I sat twice after breakfast before riding to school. This afternoon, before driving to Brooklyn, I had a small, soft bowel movement. This evening I smoked.

Morning Movement: Moderate Solid to Loose

This morning, I got up early, played with the kids for a while, then sat on the toilet and passed a moderately sized bowel movement that began as formed and ended loose. Mentally, I'm feeling quite foggy and don't think I can keep up this amount of smoking for much longer...But, it has made such a difference on my gut...

April 27, 2010

Nothing since this morning. Smoked.

Today, I did things that used to make me very uncomfortable; sit in long meetings, sit stuck in the middle at a restaruant, sit window seat on a plane, that normal people take  for granted.


Morning movement: firm to loose

This morning, after getting up, I had a two-sitting bowel movement that began as firm and ended loose.


April 26, 2010

April 25, 2010

Smoked. Running out. Getting tired of getting stoned this ofte n

Because AIT is back up and shipping whipworm again, I'm going to contact them again.


Morning: three sittings

This morning, I felt uncomfortable until I had sat on the toilet three times. The first time, I had a formed to soft movement, the two subsequent sittings were soft.

Morning: small soft before breakfast

This morning, before breakfast, I passed some fairly small, soft stools. After breakfast, I had a larger, more formed bowel movement that took two sittings for my gut to feel completely voided.


164 lbs.

I think my weight is down because things are so busy I wasn't eating as often as I'd like to be. However, I did just enjoy a bananas and yogurt from our big tub of nancy*s.


April 23, 2010

bowel movement after class: soft. smoking.

This afternoon, I only smoked 1/2 dose (1 waterpipe) so I could be functional. I had a soft bowel movement after class this evening and am going to take the rest of my normal semi-daily dose.

Smoked one water pipe

I've got another six hours to work today. Nice! Smoked one waterpipe. Nothing since.

Another soft to loose movement

This is the fifth bowel movement this morning. I'm throwing caution into the wind and smoking now. I certainly wish that access to strains of cannabis were available on the East Coast. Anecdotally, I understand that different strains of cannabis have been bred to have more potency for body effect and less for mental effects. That would be great!  

Another movement

During work, I felt urgency. I went to the bathroom and passed a loose stool. Ugh. I guess it really matters that I smoke every other day still.


Third morning movement: soft

After driving, I had to sit on the toilet again the morning and passed more gas and a small soft stool.


Second morning movement: gassy, soft to loose

This morning, at what would normally be breakfast time, I had to sit on the toilet a second time. I passed gas and some soft to loose stools.


Morning: Large formed to soft.

Yesterday, I didnt get enough sleep, but had a very busy day. I had a formed bowel movement at breakfast, another around noon and a third around 4pm.


April 21, 2010

Smoked second water pipe

I got worried that one half the normal dose wouldn't work, I took the full dose; two water pipes.

April 20, 2010

Afternoon formed park visit, toilet check and smoked.

This afternoon, on the way to school, I stopped at a nice park on Washington and Greene? and used the toilet. I hopped around farting while a crazy / drunk guy took his time shooting up or whatever. I sat and passed a moderately large formed stool with perfectly clear water. No mucus! After class, I sat on the toilet a passed gas. I smoked half a much this evening. Running out of pot. Have enough for another 4-5 water pipes. I'm upset there is no legal way to buy or grow more! I'm going to try using one water pipe every other day as a new dose. If symptoms worsen,  I will return to previous dose.  Also, now that I'm in remission I'd like to look into HPI anew.

Morning movement: large formed

This morning, I slept in until 8. Upon getting out of bed, I had a bowel movement. It was large and formed.


Two formed in evening

This evening, during class, I went to the bathroom twice. Both times I passed moderate amounts of formed stool.

April 18, 2010

Two morning, dinner. Smoked.

Got up early with the kids, played, then went to the bathroom. Passed one  small, firm stool.  After breakfast passed one large firm to soft stool. Walked around the neighborhood with friends with abandon. No anxiety of a possibility of having to have to find a toilet. What a relief. Sheesh. At late dinner, passed moderately sized formed stool. Smoked two water pipes. Nothing since.

One sitting day

Today, I only sat on the toilet once!


April 17, 2010

One formed movement in morning

Today, I slept in and had a firm formed bowel movement upon getting out of bed. I drove around with the family and went shopping with no urgency and no worry about going to the  bathroom. Amazing.


April 16, 2010

Gut soft

My large intestine, when deeply prodded is still slightly firm, but it has significantly softened from when I was symptomatic. Crazy. This is my fist remission in nine years.


Nothing since morning. Smoked.

Nothing doing, bowel-wise since this morning. Walked around with abandon.  Smoked two waterpipes this evening.  In my opinion, my livestyle has now completely changed from before I started using marijuana medically. Now, I just hope it stays this good! (or could I even feel better? completely healthy bowels? could it be this simple?) Seriously, every day is now a joy; walking and bicycling around with my children; no fear of having an accident! It is like a fairy-tale, too good to be true; too good to continue? I certainly have no indication that this isn't just going to keep making me feel healthier. Crazy.

April 14, 2010

This evening I weighed 166 lbs. I had no further bowel movements since the last post and very little gas. I smoked two water pipes and ate a dozen deviled eggs and now I feel quite full. My stomach is uncofortable, but in a very different muscle layer and location.


April 9, 2010

Yesterday: fine all day, two bowel movements in the evening.

Yesterday, I took the subway with my family and had no urgency, no nervousness about the closest toilet. No depend! What a lifestyle change! In the evening, I drove around the city picking up art and delivering it to a gallery for an upcoming show. I had to pull over and dash into a wendy's where I passed a large stool that began as formed and ended fairly soft.


April 6, 2010

4 hours sleep, 1 formed bowel movement

I'm a bit tired today because I only slept for 4 hours last night. This morning, after breakfast, I had a moderate-sized formed bowel movement. No urgency since, only a little easily passed gas.


Two toilet checks at school, but no depends

Today I drove to New Jersey to teach, taught until 10, went to the studio and made two prints all without fear of having an accident. Boy is that comfortable. What a lifestyle improvement. Used a waterpipe this evening on accord of my throat and dwindling  buds.  I smoked one bowel and feel that it is as . . Well i dont think i can smoke another. Time to go to sleep! Stuff to do tomorrow!


April 5, 2010
