Sorry to hear about your severe GI issues. I deal mostly with constipation marbles and then, if I take supplements, the marbles get increasingly, embarrassingly frequent. I drink tons of water.

I don't know if this question belongs in this category. I just had blood work done and suddenly, my cholesterol levels have skyrocketed. I eat very small and infrequent servings of meat, lots of fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, flaxseed, bran, etc. Wondering if my lack of ability to exercise due to COVID has affected my cholesterol?

OMG, you describe me perfectly, including the your diet, lack of exercise, GI pattern and sudden increase in cholesterol numbers. Rather discouraging. My GI doctor put me on Linzess (72 mg) last week and has now upped it to 144 mg + prunes. I just started the increased dose. I, also, drink water all day long. No change yet. I'll keep you posted.
