PdxMan 4,292 Posted February 14, 2013 Yup, what goes in must come out. No solids in, no solids out ... at least, for awhile. About a week out, I started on daily Milk of Magnesia. Continued to take it for a week to ensure everything kept moving along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
