I would like to address the topic of weight gain. Does anyone notice when their stool is thick
due to eating the appropriate foods (sugars, starches, etc.) do you gain weight or inches?
Since it is hard to eat salads or certain vegetables, I have an ileo so my body likes the sugar or
high-calorie foods. If my stool is runny, I usually get chills and feel terrible. If I don't have these types of food, I feel terrible mentally and physically. What do you suggest, butterfly61?
