I should have done a better job explaining how it works.

It doesn't make things pass faster. It breaks down the fats so they're more digested when you go. Fats that aren't fully processed will pass with an oily liquid consistency. That makes it harder for to pass formed stool.

I'd estimate that it cuts down bathroom visits by one third. During Covid my pharmacy was out of it for almost a month. There was a  noticeable difference.

Incorporating all of the techniques discussed on this thread allow me to pass solid formed stool most of the time. Not every time, but more than not.  Previously, that never happened for me. So, I'm not sure if every med or supplement I'm taking makes the difference, but it's working for now. Adding the sugar free generic Cholestyramine to all of the other magic tricks has made a difference in my case.

Anyone got any tips on how to prevent the burning and havoc caused by taking Iron supplements? I'm anemic, so I have to take it 3x a week.
