[Diabetes-talk] Allo

Coffee apparently works really well to, un, evacuate the ol' septic
system. I don't know this personally as I'm not a coffee drinker, but my
hubby is, and he makes regular trips to the lavratory after consuming
coffee, *grin*

If I'm gonna go that route, I prefer Kellogg's All-bran. I remember in
high school once I ate two bowls of that for breakfast along with three
bran muffins and only realized what I'd done when I suddenly had to make
several fast trips. It much amused my mother.

I eat fruit and do the bran tabs after each meal to keep the parade
moving. I just love to know what is out there and what helps folks.
