Based on the Halloween Whopper I ate this weekend, my digestive cycle is roughly a day and a half.

That's about normal, isn't it?

1. Can I admit that this was my first thought?

As in, wow - how useful is this information!

They took my gall bladder out a few months ago, and I am still trying to figure out what I can and can't eat. The BK Diagnostic Tool would be extremely helpful in ferreting out that information.

3. I've had mine out for 4 years and all I can confirm is

... hell if I know.

The only thing I can depend on is if I eat something new or that I haven't eaten in a while, then I can expect many bathroom visits.

5. I had my gb out in 2003

and was told I could eat whatever I want - and I do.

2. Maybe it's more about absorption/evacuation of the dye.

Like, not so much the breakdown of the food but more about how long it takes to expel the food color from the bloodstream(?)

but 1 1/2 days is pretty close. Better than 2 or 3 days.

On the other hand, when I eat my homegrown beets (store bought don't seem to have this effect), if I have beets for dinner, my morning poop already is turning magenta-ish. Freaks me out as by morning I've always forgotten. The pee gets colorful within a few hours.

6. Fresh beets are what

got me to hurriedly schedule my first colonoscopy after putting it off for years....
