your liquid is just like weh you had the s h i t s and after a bit it would burn your butt its really acidy stuff for breaking down the foods you might want to try a old way to see what is going on first you eat one thing at a time to see how your body reacts to it then you wil know what is good and what brings problems to your system

Hi Cheryl, There are times when your output varies even when you eat the same foods. Your bowel after a year at times may be more efficient in absorbtion and resultant thicker output and increased pressure or pull on the seal your are using. Different seel types or pastes or a belt may add support Feel free to communicate if you choose.. Barry OTR/L
